Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: The Pick. at 100% against E's 50%. The Pick. also leads on rating (5.0 vs 2.9). E's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 16 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
