Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: EkSarathi at 100% against Scoop's 29%. EkSarathi also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Scoop's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (20K vs 4). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Scoop holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Scoop has 20K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 29% of Scoop's written reviews are positive against 100% of EkSarathi's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Scoop ships an update every 3 weeks, EkSarathi every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
