Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: ECNL at 4.6 against PlayMetrics's 4.1. ECNL also leads on ratings volume (5.8K vs 1.2K). PlayMetrics's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and chart position (#46 vs unranked). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

ECNL holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.1. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 5.8K and 1.2K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 10% of ECNL's written reviews are positive against 17% of PlayMetrics's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

ECNL ships an update every 4 weeks, PlayMetrics monthly. Both last shipped on October 22, 2026.
