# 澳電CEM vs Hong Kong e

The clearest difference is rating: 澳電CEM at 5.0 against Hong Kong e's 2.9. 澳電CEM also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Hong Kong e's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks) and ratings volume (9 vs 1). 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.

澳電CEM holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 2.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hong Kong e has 9 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

澳電CEM ships an update every 6 weeks, Hong Kong e fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
