E-vaskeri provides a wide range of smart functions that ease daily routines for users of Nortec® laundries. Depending on the specific laundry you use, you can access functions such as “Available”, “Book” and “Spent”.* The functions “Available” and “Book” eliminate futile trips to the laundry. “Available” gives you a real-time overview of the machines in your laundry, so you can quickly and easily see which machines are available and see when the machines currently in use will finish their cycles. With the “Book” function, you can easily plan your laundry routines so you are always certain that an available machine is waiting for you when you come to the laundry. *Not all functions are available to all users of e-vaskeri. This will depend on the set-up in your laundry, including the age of the machinery and the payment system used. Please note that some laundries do not use the “Book” function, so in these cases, the function will not be accessible on e-vaskeri. The “Available” function is only accessible in newer smart laundries.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: e at 3.9 against WelcomeBob's 3.0. e also leads on ratings volume (9 vs 2) and iOS requirement (12.2 vs 16.0). WelcomeBob's advantage is review sentiment (50% vs 17%) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
