ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

SwitchBee holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 5 and 3 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of SwitchBee's written reviews are positive against 67% of My's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

SwitchBee ships an update every 2 weeks, My every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and September 14, 2026 respectively.
