Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Daily Blast Live at 78% against E!'s 33%. Daily Blast Live also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). E!'s advantage is ratings volume (9.9K vs 1.1K). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Daily Blast Live holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5.
