Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Pathos at none against EntericGuys's shown. Pathos also leads on ratings volume (360 vs 2) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). EntericGuys's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 12.2). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases 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.
EntericGuys holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pathos has 360 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 89% of Pathos's written reviews are positive against 82% of EntericGuys's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and August 26, 2026 respectively.
