Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Ediag at every 2 months against EasyStart's every 8 months. Ediag also leads on rating (4.3 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (1.4K vs 34). EasyStart's advantage is review sentiment (39% vs 30%). 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.
Ediag holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ediag has 1.4K ratings behind it against 34, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 39% of EasyStart's written reviews are positive against 30% of Ediag's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
EasyStart ships an update every 8 months, Ediag every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 9, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
