Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Bravo at 102K against E!'s 9.8K. E!'s advantage is iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence 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

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for Bravo against 4.5 for E!. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bravo has 102K ratings behind it against 9.8K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 24% of Bravo's written reviews are positive against 30% of E!'s.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Bravo ships an update monthly, E! every 5 weeks. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
