Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: SIFS Trading at 100% against EI +'s 55%. SIFS Trading also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). EI +'s advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (4.6K vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
