ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Affinitiv Messaging holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MobileXRM has 45 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 23% of MobileXRM's written reviews are positive against 0% of Affinitiv Messaging's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

MobileXRM ships an update every 2 months, Affinitiv Messaging every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 5, 2026 and October 6, 2026 respectively.
