Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: C182 Performance at Free against E's $19.99. E's advantage is rating (4.9 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (110 vs 10). On review sentiment, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

E holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: E has 110 ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of E's written reviews are positive against 83% of C182 Performance's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

E ships an update every 3 months, C182 Performance every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 20, 2026 and September 19, 2026 respectively.
