Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: e at every 3 weeks against shake smart's every 14 months. e also leads on review sentiment (67% vs 47%) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.6). shake smart's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.2) and ratings volume (196 vs 6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

shake smart holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: shake smart has 196 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 47% of shake smart's written reviews are positive against 67% of e's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

shake smart ships an update every 14 months, e every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
