Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: XRay at 4.1 against MobilEM's 3.6. XRay also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (135 vs 39). MobilEM's advantage is chart position (#75 vs unranked) and review sentiment (45% vs 33%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MobilEM sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per year and XRay sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

XRay holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 39 and 135 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 45% of MobilEM's written reviews are positive against 33% of XRay's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

MobilEM ships an update every 2 months, XRay monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 12, 2026 respectively.
