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.
Elgin Smart holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Elgin Smart has 44 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 16% of Elgin Smart's written reviews are positive against 100% of G's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Elgin Smart ships an update every 11 months, G every 27 months. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and June 1, 2026 respectively.
