ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

E holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: E has 51 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of E's written reviews are positive against 53% of eSeaGo's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

E ships an update every 2 months, eSeaGo every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 10, 2026 respectively.
