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.
Noodoe holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Noodoe has 835 ratings behind it against 114, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 36% of Noodoe's written reviews are positive against 41% of EVCS'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 every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
