Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: PagerDuty at weekly against Splunk AR's every 2 months. PagerDuty also leads on ratings volume (5.2K vs 19) and rating (4.8 vs 4.6). Splunk AR's advantage is review sentiment (50% vs 25%) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

PagerDuty holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PagerDuty has 5.2K ratings behind it against 19, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 25% of PagerDuty's written reviews are positive against 50% of Splunk AR's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

PagerDuty ships an update weekly, Splunk AR every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
