ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

AegisClient holds the better App Store score, 3.5 against 1.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RelayWayX has 56 ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of AegisClient's written reviews are positive against 21% of RelayWayX's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

AegisClient ships an update every 11 days, RelayWayX every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 10, 2026 and October 19, 2026 respectively.
