Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: eWords at 5.0 against Words's 4.5. eWords also leads on review sentiment (80% vs 50%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.1). Words's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (1.1K vs 2). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model 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
Both are free to download. Words sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days and eWords sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
eWords holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Words has 1.1K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 50% of Words's written reviews are positive against 80% of eWords's.
Words ships an update every 2 months, eWords every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
