ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Powergate holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Powergate has 357 ratings behind it against 40, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 49% of iQuad by Quadzilla's written reviews are positive against 12% of Powergate's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

iQuad by Quadzilla ships an update every 4 months, Powergate every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
