Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Eldes Gates at 5.0 against Akuvox SmartPlus's 3.2. Akuvox SmartPlus's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 8 months) and review sentiment (45% vs 18%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model 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. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Eldes Gates holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Akuvox SmartPlus has 298 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 18% of Eldes Gates's written reviews are positive against 45% of Akuvox SmartPlus's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Eldes Gates ships an update every 8 months, Akuvox SmartPlus every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
