ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

REC Disk Speed Test holds the better App Store score, 3.8 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PerformanceTest Mobile has 56 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 53% of PerformanceTest Mobile's written reviews are positive against 0% of REC Disk Speed Test's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
