Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Easy CNC at 68% against Machining Advisor Pro's 17%. Easy CNC also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Machining Advisor Pro's advantage is rating (4.0 vs 3.0) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 12 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Machining Advisor Pro holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Machining Advisor Pro has 162 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 68% of Easy CNC's written reviews are positive against 17% of Machining Advisor Pro's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Easy CNC ships an update every 12 months, Machining Advisor Pro every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 11, 2026 and September 29, 2026 respectively.
