Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: EZsalt at 75% against MyEssency's 38%. EZsalt also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). MyEssency's advantage is ratings volume (305 vs 15) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
MyEssency holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MyEssency has 305 ratings behind it against 15, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 38% of MyEssency's written reviews are positive against 75% of EZsalt's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
MyEssency ships an update every 2 months, EZsalt every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
