# MySCE vs My El Monte

The clearest difference is rating: My El Monte at 2.3 against MySCE's 1.9. MySCE's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 6 months) and ratings volume (1.5K vs 3). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

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

My El Monte holds the better App Store score, 2.3 against 1.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MySCE has 1.5K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 10% of MySCE's written reviews are positive against 0% of My El Monte's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

MySCE ships an update monthly, My El Monte every 6 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
