ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

iConnectYou holds the better App Store score, 3.2 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iConnectYou has 142 ratings behind it against 28, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 10% of iConnectYou's written reviews are positive against 14% of Benevity's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

iConnectYou ships an update every 6 weeks, Benevity monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 18, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
