# E vs Borbalo

The clearest difference is rating: Borbalo at 4.2 against E's 3.7. Borbalo also leads on ratings volume (326 vs 3) and update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 4 months). E's advantage is monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, review sentiment, 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.

Borbalo holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Borbalo has 326 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of E's written reviews are positive against 43% of Borbalo's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

E ships an update every 4 months, Borbalo every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
