ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Cvent iCapture holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cvent iCapture has 189 ratings behind it against 29, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 66% of Showpad eOS®'s written reviews are positive against 38% of Cvent iCapture's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Showpad eOS® ships an update every 2 weeks, Cvent iCapture monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 17, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
