What PhonePe's score says
PhonePe holds 4.43 stars from 14,200,781 ratings across 500,000,000+ installs. Release Health measures something the store rating does not: whether recent builds are shipping cleanly. On that, the Android build scores 89/100 — battle-tested. A score for iOS is coming. That places it 1st of the 3 general fintech apps we track.
How this score is calculated
Five dimensions, 100 points, all derived from public store data — the reasoning behind each is shown so any score can be retraced. Two carry 35 points each and three carry 10, in proportion to how well each predicted future problems when tested against months of reviews it had never seen.
1.1% of reviews report a severe defect
- Hard failures
- 10% of bug reports name a crash or freeze

Indented figures describe the defects behind each rate and carry no points. The score is the sum of the five rows.
Recent builds
Each build is measured over its first 14 days, so builds compare like for like. This app's own median is 7.9%. No build landed more than 12 points above it.
