Both are free to download. ECNL sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $3.99 per month. NorCal asks for nothing beyond the download.
ECNL holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ECNL has 5.8K ratings behind it against 19, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 10% of ECNL's written reviews are positive against 33% of NorCal's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
ECNL ships an update every 4 weeks, NorCal every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
