Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
EasyStart holds the better App Store score, 3.6 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: EasyStart has 46 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of infohub Portable's written reviews are positive against 33% of EasyStart's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
infohub Portable ships an update every 6 months, EasyStart every 10 months. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
