Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Mendix at 71% against Microsoft Azure's 29%. Mendix also leads on iOS requirement (9.0 vs 16.0). Microsoft Azure's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 3.4) and ratings volume (2.8K vs 5). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Microsoft Azure holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Microsoft Azure has 2.8K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of Mendix's written reviews are positive against 29% of Microsoft Azure's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Mendix ships an update every 2 months, Microsoft Azure every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on June 1, 2026 and September 30, 2026 respectively.
