ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Gallup Access holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Gallup Access has 1.5K ratings behind it against 28, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 58% of SLII®'s written reviews are positive against 42% of Gallup Access's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

SLII® ships an update every 3 weeks, Gallup Access every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 10, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
