Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: EKG at 70% against iCCS's 25%. EKG also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). iCCS's advantage is price (Free vs $2.99) and rating (3.7 vs 3.0). On ratings volume, ads, in-app purchases and device support 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
iCCS is free to download; EKG costs $2.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
iCCS holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 3.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 2 and 3 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 70% of EKG's written reviews are positive against 25% of iCCS's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
EKG ships an update every 13 months, iCCS every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 5, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
