Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: OnBase Mobile for iPhone at none against PC's 8. OnBase Mobile for iPhone also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 66%). PC's advantage is rating (4.4 vs 4.0) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 6 months). On price there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

PC holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PC has 134 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 66% of PC's written reviews are positive against 100% of OnBase Mobile for iPhone's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

PC ships an update every 5 weeks, OnBase Mobile for iPhone every 6 months. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
