Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: EI + at 4.7 against National Bonds's 3.4. EI + also leads on ratings volume (4.6K vs 23) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 5 weeks). National Bonds's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

EI + holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.4.

Written reviews point the same way: 52% of National Bonds's written reviews are positive against 55% of EI +'s.
National Bonds ships an update every 5 weeks, EI + every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on September 9, 2026 and September 28, 2026 respectively.
