Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: ESC Pocket Guidelines at 4.8 against E's 4.3. ESC Pocket Guidelines also leads on ratings volume (841 vs 3). E's advantage is review sentiment (67% vs 50%) and iOS requirement (6.0 vs 15.1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

ESC Pocket Guidelines holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ESC Pocket Guidelines has 841 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of ESC Pocket Guidelines's written reviews are positive against 67% of E's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
