Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Eclipse Home at 100% against Surplife's 54%. Eclipse Home also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.5) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.5). Surplife's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (1.2K vs 70). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
