EG Nodes's advantage is review sentiment (92% vs 50%) and update cadence (weekly vs every 8 months). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.

mfxStrip costs $2.99 and EG Nodes $19.99 up front. EG Nodes sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. mfxStrip asks for nothing beyond the download.

mfxStrip holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: EG Nodes has 93 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of mfxStrip's written reviews are positive against 92% of EG Nodes's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

mfxStrip ships an update every 8 months, EG Nodes weekly. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
