# CentralMOBILE vs E

The clearest difference is ads: E at none against CentralMOBILE's shown. E also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and review sentiment (52% vs 37%). CentralMOBILE's advantage is ratings volume (4.7K vs 686). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for CentralMOBILE against 4.8 for E. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CentralMOBILE has 4.7K ratings behind it against 686, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 37% of CentralMOBILE's written reviews are positive against 52% of E's.

CentralMOBILE ships an update every 3 months, E every 4 months. Both last shipped on November 6, 2026.
