Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Easy Performer at Free against CueLAN's $14.99. Easy Performer also leads on ratings volume (159 vs 1) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks). CueLAN's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ads (none vs shown). On device support there is nothing between them.
