Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Easy at Free against Hydraulic schemes's $0.99. Easy also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ratings volume (20 vs 1). Hydraulic schemes's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.0) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). On review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Easy is free to download; Hydraulic schemes costs $0.99 up front. Hydraulic schemes sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Easy asks for nothing beyond the download.
Hydraulic schemes holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Easy has 20 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Easy's written reviews are positive against 77% of Hydraulic schemes's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Easy ships an update every 2 months, Hydraulic schemes every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
