# E! vs Daily Blast Live

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.

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

Daily Blast Live holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: E! has 9.9K ratings behind it against 1.1K, 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 78% of Daily Blast Live's.

E! ships an update every 5 weeks, Daily Blast Live every 6 weeks. Both last shipped on October 29, 2026.
