Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Congas at Free against EZ Trigger's $9.99. Congas also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 24 months) and ratings volume (359 vs 9). EZ Trigger's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and rating (4.1 vs 3.7). On review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

EZ Trigger holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Congas has 359 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of Congas's written reviews are positive against 70% of EZ Trigger's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Congas ships an update every 2 months, EZ Trigger every 24 months. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
