Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: ACP Meetings at 3.0 against Spok Mobile's 1.6. ACP Meetings also leads on monetization model (free vs subscription). Spok Mobile's advantage is review sentiment (10% vs 0%) and ratings volume (144 vs 24). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
ACP Meetings holds the better App Store score, 3.0 against 1.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Spok Mobile has 144 ratings behind it against 24, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 10% of Spok Mobile's written reviews are positive against 0% of ACP Meetings's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Spok Mobile ships an update every 4 months, ACP Meetings every 3 months. Both last shipped on November 1, 2026.
