Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: VideoEntry at 4.5 against eWeLink's 2.7. VideoEntry also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 29) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). eWeLink's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 7 months) and ratings volume (71 vs 2). On price, ads and device support 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. eWeLink sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. VideoEntry asks for nothing beyond the download.
VideoEntry holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: eWeLink has 71 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 27% of eWeLink's written reviews are positive against 10% of VideoEntry's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
eWeLink ships an update monthly, VideoEntry every 7 months. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
