# MOBILE vs myPWS

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: MOBILE at none against myPWS's 11. MOBILE also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6). myPWS's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 months) and ratings volume (565 vs 1). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. myPWS sells 11 one-off in-app purchases. MOBILE asks for nothing beyond the download.

MOBILE holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: myPWS has 565 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 56% of MOBILE's written reviews are positive against 71% of myPWS's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

MOBILE ships an update every 6 months, myPWS every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
