Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
myEKU holds the better App Store score, 3.8 against 2.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: The Winbox has 75 ratings behind it against 14, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 45% of The Winbox's written reviews are positive against 0% of myEKU's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
The Winbox ships an update weekly, myEKU every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
