# SolarEdge Mapper vs CPS Connect Pro

The clearest difference is review sentiment: CPS Connect Pro at 100% against SolarEdge Mapper's 30%. CPS Connect Pro also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 5 weeks). SolarEdge Mapper's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (651 vs 4). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

SolarEdge Mapper holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SolarEdge Mapper has 651 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 30% of SolarEdge Mapper's written reviews are positive against 100% of CPS Connect Pro's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

SolarEdge Mapper ships an update every 5 weeks, CPS Connect Pro every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 4, 2026 and August 3, 2026 respectively.
