# eWeLink vs MyPatterns

The clearest difference is rating: MyPatterns at 3.3 against eWeLink's 2.7. MyPatterns also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 29). eWeLink's advantage is review sentiment (28% vs 0%) and update cadence (monthly vs every 4 months). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. eWeLink sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. MyPatterns asks for nothing beyond the download.

MyPatterns holds the better App Store score, 3.3 against 2.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: eWeLink has 64 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 28% of eWeLink's written reviews are positive against 0% of MyPatterns's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

eWeLink ships an update monthly, MyPatterns every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and June 13, 2026 respectively.
