# Nextin vs E

The clearest difference is rating: E at 5.0 against Nextin's 3.8. E also leads on update cadence (daily vs fortnightly). Nextin's advantage is monetization model (free vs subscription) and ratings volume (1.1K vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Nextin sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and E sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $7.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

E holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Nextin has 1.1K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Nextin ships an update fortnightly, E daily. The most recent releases landed on November 12, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
