Verdict
The clearest difference is iOS requirement: EMA Manager at 13.1 against SolarGo's 15.0. On price, rating, review sentiment and ratings volume 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.
SolarGo holds the better App Store score, 3.3 against 3.1. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 7 and 15 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 10% of SolarGo's written reviews are positive against 16% of EMA Manager's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
