Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: E9PAY at 4.2 against i's 3.0. E9PAY also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and ads 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.
E9PAY holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 12 and 16 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 47% of i's written reviews are positive against 43% of E9PAY's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
i ships an update every 3 months, E9PAY every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 13, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
