National Grid holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: National Grid has 13K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 22% of National Grid's written reviews are positive against 50% of Savecom Cloudphone's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
National Grid ships an update every 6 weeks, Savecom Cloudphone every 10 months. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and September 28, 2026 respectively.
