Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: El Corte Inglés at 4.7 against Orain's 3.7. El Corte Inglés also leads on update cadence (every 10 days vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (659 vs 27). Orain's advantage is iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
El Corte Inglés holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: El Corte Inglés has 659 ratings behind it against 27, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 28% of Orain's written reviews are positive against 21% of El Corte Inglés's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Orain ships an update every 2 months, El Corte Inglés every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
