Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: E at 1.8 against Eplus Tutor Pro's 1.0. E also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ratings volume (74 vs 2). Eplus Tutor Pro's advantage is update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 3 months) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
