ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

The Customer Factor holds the better App Store score, 3.5 against 1.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: The Customer Factor has 71 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 48% of The Customer Factor's written reviews are positive against 100% of MaidCentral's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

The Customer Factor ships an update every 3 weeks, MaidCentral every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
