# e_touch vs i

The clearest difference is rating: e_touch at 5.0 against i's 1.8. e_touch also leads on iOS requirement (9.0 vs 12.0). i's advantage is ratings volume (40 vs 1) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, review sentiment, ads 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.

e_touch holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 1.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: i has 40 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 3% of e_touch's written reviews are positive against 11% of i's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

e_touch ships an update every 3 months, i every 5 weeks. Both last shipped on November 2, 2026.
