ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

SimplyWise holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SimplyWise has 36K ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 82% of Service Tech Work Orders Plus's written reviews are positive against 77% of SimplyWise's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Service Tech Work Orders Plus ships an update every 3 months, SimplyWise monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 17, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
