# Pacific Power vs My OTEC

The clearest difference is rating: My OTEC at 3.2 against Pacific Power's 1.8. Pacific Power's advantage is ratings volume (182 vs 6) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.0). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

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

My OTEC holds the better App Store score, 3.2 against 1.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pacific Power has 182 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 6% of Pacific Power's written reviews are positive against 0% of My OTEC's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Pacific Power ships an update every 6 months, My OTEC every 7 months. Both last shipped on November 1, 2026.
