Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: EmCan at 63% against SHARE Rewards's 19%. SHARE Rewards's advantage is rating (4.1 vs 3.6) and ratings volume (323 vs 22). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
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.
SHARE Rewards holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SHARE Rewards has 323 ratings behind it against 22, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 19% of SHARE Rewards's written reviews are positive against 63% of EmCan's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
SHARE Rewards ships an update weekly, EmCan every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and August 16, 2026 respectively.
