ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Nest Egg holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 1.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Nest Egg has 48 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 20% of Nest Egg's written reviews are positive against 100% of SwiftCount's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Nest Egg ships an update every 6 weeks, SwiftCount weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 16, 2026 and September 15, 2026 respectively.
