ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Warframe Companion holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Warframe Companion has 16K ratings behind it against 224, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Warframe Companion's written reviews are positive against 76% of GI Pocket Helper's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
