Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: EE ToolKit PRO at 4.9 against Electronic's 2.3. EE ToolKit PRO also leads on ratings volume (293 vs 3) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 18.5). Electronic's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months) and review sentiment (100% vs 90%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model 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
EE ToolKit PRO costs $9.99 and Electronic $9.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
EE ToolKit PRO holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: EE ToolKit PRO has 293 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 90% of EE ToolKit PRO's written reviews are positive against 100% of Electronic's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
EE ToolKit PRO ships an update every 3 months, Electronic fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 1, 2026 and October 2, 2026 respectively.
