Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: eGeez at free against SelamGO!'s free with in-app purchases. eGeez also leads on ratings volume (10 vs 2) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). SelamGO!'s advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases 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. SelamGO! sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month and eGeez sells 8 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
SelamGO! holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: eGeez has 10 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
SelamGO! ships an update fortnightly, eGeez every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on October 31, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
