Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Eiriu Eolas at none against Yi Jing's 10. Eiriu Eolas also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 4 months) and price ($1.99 vs $4.99). Yi Jing's advantage is ratings volume (909 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 18.6). On rating, ads, chart position and device support there is nothing between them.
