Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: JayC at 4.7 against Yiftee's 3.4. JayC also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (4K vs 14). Yiftee's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

JayC holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: JayC has 4K ratings behind it against 14, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 41% of JayC's written reviews are positive against 50% of Yiftee's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

JayC ships an update weekly, Yiftee every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and July 6, 2026 respectively.
