Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Epson Smart Panel at free against Easy's free with in-app purchases. Epson Smart Panel also leads on update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (406K vs 24K). Easy's advantage is review sentiment (54% vs 43%). On price, rating, 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.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Easy against 4.7 for Epson Smart Panel. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Epson Smart Panel has 406K ratings behind it against 24K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 54% of Easy's written reviews are positive against 43% of Epson Smart Panel's.
Easy ships an update every 4 months, Epson Smart Panel every 6 weeks. Both last shipped on November 7, 2026.
