# E! vs ID GO

The clearest difference is review sentiment: ID GO at 55% against E!'s 33%. ID GO also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.5) and ratings volume (78K vs 9.9K). On price, update cadence, ads 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.

ID GO holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ID GO has 78K ratings behind it against 9.9K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 33% of E!'s written reviews are positive against 55% of ID GO's.

E! ships an update every 5 weeks, ID GO every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
