Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Cent at 100% against e's 30%. Cent also leads on rating (3.0 vs 2.4) and update cadence (weekly vs monthly). e's advantage is monetization model (free vs freemium) and ratings volume (110 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
