Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Rain Bird 2.0 at 4.5 against eSolutions's 2.3. Rain Bird 2.0 also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (7.5K vs 6). eSolutions's advantage is review sentiment (33% vs 16%). On price, ads, 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. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Rain Bird 2.0 holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Rain Bird 2.0 has 7.5K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of eSolutions's written reviews are positive against 16% of Rain Bird 2.0's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
eSolutions ships an update every 4 months, Rain Bird 2.0 every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
