Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: EBMX at 3.8 against I's 2.0. EBMX also leads on ratings volume (16 vs 2) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.6). I's advantage is review sentiment (33% vs 25%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
EBMX holds the better App Store score, 3.8 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: EBMX has 16 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of I's written reviews are positive against 25% of EBMX's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
I ships an update monthly, EBMX every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
