Verdict
The clearest difference is price: E at Free against VESC Tool's $3.99. E also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 55%) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 8 months). VESC Tool's advantage is rating (3.8 vs 3.5) and ratings volume (40 vs 2). On ads, 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
E is free to download; VESC Tool costs $3.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
VESC Tool holds the better App Store score, 3.8 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: VESC Tool has 40 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 55% of VESC Tool's written reviews are positive against 100% of E's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
VESC Tool ships an update every 8 months, E every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
