# E vs Seeing

The clearest difference is rating: Seeing at 4.6 against E's 1.4. Seeing also leads on review sentiment (26% vs 0%) and ratings volume (67K vs 17). E's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 22) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Seeing sells 19 in-app purchases, starting at $28.99 per 6 months. E asks for nothing beyond the download.

Seeing holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 1.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Seeing has 67K ratings behind it against 17, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 0% of E's written reviews are positive against 26% of Seeing's.

E ships an update every 3 weeks, Seeing every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 4, 2026 and October 19, 2026 respectively.
