Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: i at monthly against i's every 3 months. i also leads on ratings volume (419 vs 80) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 11.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads 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.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 2.1 for i against 2.1 for i. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: i has 419 ratings behind it against 80, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 12% of i's written reviews are positive against 10% of i's.
i ships an update every 3 months, i monthly. The most recent releases landed on July 5, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
