Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Neuron E at none against Lime's shown. Neuron E also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Lime's advantage is ratings volume (2.3M vs 2.8K) and chart position (#13 vs unranked). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Lime against 4.8 for Neuron E. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lime has 2.3M ratings behind it against 2.8K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 43% of Lime's written reviews are positive against 45% of Neuron E's.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Lime ships an update weekly, Neuron E fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 31, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
