ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Cvent iCapture holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cvent iCapture has 285 ratings behind it against 29, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 70% of Showpad eOS®'s written reviews are positive against 36% 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 fortnightly, Cvent iCapture every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
