EZ Outliner aims to be a simple yet easy to use outliner application, allowing you to create powerful and easy to read outline documents from any device, anywhere. Use EZ Outliner to create shopping and grocery lists, plans, schedules, outline speeches and presentations, to do lists, or anything else which takes the format of an outline. EZ Outliner currently contains everything you need to create basic outlines, but I will expand and add more based on user requests and feedback. Here is just a list of some of the things EZ Outliner can already do. - Create a virtually unlimited number of outlines for every use case and occasion! - Color code your outlines for better organization. - Print your outlines, from any device! Properly formatted outline printing is supported on all devices, as long as a printer is available. - Sync your outlines between devices. If you sign in with an Ape Apps account, you can sync your outline files across all of your devices. Work on a grocery list or presentation at home, then pull them up on your phone when you need them! The goal of EZ Outliner is to be quick and easy to use. If there are features you would like to see added, or if you can think of changes that will improve the app, e-mail me or let me know in the comments. This app is for you guys, so help me make it the best it can be!

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: OutlineProcessor at none against EZ Outliner's shown. OutlineProcessor also leads on review sentiment (20% vs 0%). EZ Outliner's advantage is update cadence (every 7 months vs every 59 months) and rating (3.7 vs 3.5). On price, ratings volume, 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. OutlineProcessor sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and EZ Outliner sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
EZ Outliner holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 3.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 4 and 3 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 20% of OutlineProcessor's written reviews are positive against 0% of EZ Outliner's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
OutlineProcessor ships an update every 59 months, EZ Outliner every 7 months. The most recent releases landed on September 3, 2026 and August 15, 2026 respectively.
