ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Speco Access Control holds the better App Store score, 3.8 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Rapid_Mobile has 30 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 45% of Rapid_Mobile's written reviews are positive against 0% of Speco Access Control's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Rapid_Mobile ships an update every 3 months, Speco Access Control every 11 months. The most recent releases landed on October 1, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
