ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Uptime Kuma Manager holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Uptime Kuma Manager has 41 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 70% of Uptime Kuma Manager's written reviews are positive against 100% of Forgejo Heatmap's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Uptime Kuma Manager ships an update every 9 days, Forgejo Heatmap fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
