ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

NEJE 2 holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ElegooKit has 94 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 53% of ElegooKit's written reviews are positive against 16% of NEJE 2's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

ElegooKit ships an update monthly, NEJE 2 every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
