I'm 5'7 and 120ish pounds, sedentary job, my maintenance is 1550 kcal.

Ah that seems more reasonable, do you reckon it'd be more like 1600 for me then?

I'm not sure! I think most apps and sites will use the same algorithm to determine average tdee. I'd probably put my stats into a couple different websites, too, and average them out. Your body composition will make a difference, too, I think people with more muscle mass will have a higher tdee/bmr.
I like to use Cronometer instead of mfp because it lets me track nutrients closer, which is something I enjoy doing because I'm a nerd. Though tbh I haven't been using anything for tracking calories for maybe 4 months. I go through phases of tracking and not.
