Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: EASE Audits at 4.4 against CortexScan's 3.0. EASE Audits also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (1.1K vs 23). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
EASE Audits holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: EASE Audits has 1.1K ratings behind it against 23, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 38% of CortexScan's written reviews are positive against 37% of EASE Audits's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
CortexScan ships an update every 3 months, EASE Audits every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
