# Origins vs E

The clearest difference is ads: E at none against Origins's shown. Origins's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 weeks) and ratings volume (7 vs 1). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Origins sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and E sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for Origins against 5.0 for E. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Origins has 7 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Origins ships an update every 2 weeks, E every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 11, 2026 respectively.
