Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: E! at 4.5 against FX Screeners's 3.0. E! also leads on review sentiment (33% vs 0%) and ratings volume (9.8K vs 2). FX Screeners's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
