Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: EdiLife at 1.9 against NiteVision's 1.0. EdiLife also leads on ratings volume (15 vs 1). NiteVision's advantage is review sentiment (50% vs 10%) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
EdiLife holds the better App Store score, 1.9 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: EdiLife has 15 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 10% of EdiLife's written reviews are positive against 50% of NiteVision's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
EdiLife ships an update every 3 months, NiteVision every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on August 22, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
