SYSTEM UTIL Dashboard holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SYSTEM UTIL Dashboard has 828 ratings behind it against 23, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of ActMonitor's written reviews are positive against 55% of SYSTEM UTIL Dashboard's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
ActMonitor ships an update every 2 months, SYSTEM UTIL Dashboard every 5 months. Both last shipped on October 23, 2026.
