Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: ECD Now at every 3 days against IC Home's every 2 months. ECD Now also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6). IC Home's advantage is ratings volume (15 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
