Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: CADIO at 5.0 against EasyMQTT's 3.5. CADIO also leads on iOS requirement (13 vs 17.0). EasyMQTT's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (27% vs 0%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support 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. EasyMQTT sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 3 months and CADIO sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
CADIO holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: EasyMQTT has 36 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 27% of EasyMQTT's written reviews are positive against 0% of CADIO's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
EasyMQTT ships an update every 2 weeks, CADIO every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 9, 2026 respectively.
