Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Eclipse at 4.5 against Mihon's 4.0. Eclipse also leads on ratings volume (12 vs 1). Mihon's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Eclipse sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Mihon sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Eclipse holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Eclipse has 12 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 90% of Eclipse's written reviews are positive against 100% of Mihon's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Eclipse ships an update fortnightly, Mihon weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
