Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
3R holds the better App Store score, 2.7 against 2.2. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 30 and 18 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 32% of ēdn's written reviews are positive against 25% of 3R's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
ēdn ships an update monthly, 3R every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and October 11, 2026 respectively.
