The size is maintained even when outputting to PDF. -You can edit each cut, such as changing the order of cuts, deleting, new insertion, and copy & paste, just like using a smartphone. -If it is the same cut, you can handle it as the same cut without pressing the next cut by pressing the cut concatenation button. 2nd View • Toolbar function -Several pen styles, pen colors, pen opacity and eraser features. -Hand tools can be moved (tap & move) and scaled (pinch in & pinch out). • Layer function -Equipped with standard layer functions such as hiding layers, changing order, and deleting. -You can select the layer to use the move and scale functions in conjunction with the hand tool on the toolbar.

To use this application, a monthly or annual subscription must be purchased separately. ver 1.5 -Fixes have been made to lighten the operation. The opacity of brushes is switched between the previous 1.4 version and the current one from 1.5 after 65. The higher the opacity (closer to 0), the higher the load, causing delays and slowness with the pencil and brush tools. If you want to avoid delays and slowdowns with the pencil and brush tools, it is recommended to use opacity as close to 100 as possible. -The action of the Back button from the Edit screen has been changed to wait until saving is complete. Therefore, the Back button cannot be operated until saving is completed. Please note that this is not a malfunction. -The behavior of the screen transition to the edit screen has been modified to be more stable. -When Duplicating a video, there was a case that the video would not be saved and would be blank, but this has been corrected. -Fixed some minor issues, such as canceling during video export. -Safety has been improved.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Metaspace at 3.5 against e's 2.7. Metaspace also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 months). e's advantage is iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.5). On price, review sentiment, 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. Metaspace sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and e sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Metaspace holds the better App Store score, 3.5 against 2.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Metaspace has 88 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 49% of Metaspace's written reviews are positive against 50% of e's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Metaspace ships an update every 5 days, e every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
