# EAS Tools vs ATC SkyDecode

EAS Tools and ATC SkyDecode both sit at 4.3 stars, but that hides the real split: 69% of EAS Tools's written reviews are positive against 23% of ATC SkyDecode's. EAS Tools also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 7). ATC SkyDecode's advantage is ratings volume (263 vs 19). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ATC SkyDecode sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days. EAS Tools asks for nothing beyond the download.

ATC SkyDecode holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ATC SkyDecode has 263 ratings behind it against 19, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 69% of EAS Tools's written reviews are positive against 23% of ATC SkyDecode's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

EAS Tools ships an update weekly, ATC SkyDecode every 4 days. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
