Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: EZ at 3.9 against Dakota Digital's 3.1. EZ also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). Dakota Digital's advantage is review sentiment (13% vs 0%) and ratings volume (53 vs 7). 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.
EZ holds the better App Store score, 3.9 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dakota Digital has 53 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of EZ's written reviews are positive against 13% of Dakota Digital's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
EZ ships an update monthly, Dakota Digital every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 26, 2026 respectively.
