Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: MobileAsset at 64% against Freshservice's 19%. MobileAsset also leads on monetization model (free vs freemium) and iOS requirement (6.0 vs 15.0). Freshservice's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 2.8) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 4 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Freshservice holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Freshservice has 2.5K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 64% of MobileAsset's written reviews are positive against 19% of Freshservice's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

MobileAsset ships an update every 4 months, Freshservice every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
