Cydia has been a great boon to us jailbreakers, as there would practically be no jailbreaking without Cydia. Because most of the people jailbreak their iOS devices because they want to install Cydia tweaks and customize their stock iOS.

However, there are times when there is no jailbreak around for a specific iOS firmware. A perfect example for this is the iOS 8.4.1 which is unjailbroken as all the security bugs have been fixed by Apple. Also, many users want to stay on the stock iOS while still having to customize their stock iOS apps just like with Cydia tweaks.
The Extensify app which was unveiled a day ago is made to do just this. This is a perfect app for iOS 9 which is basically a tweak store for the stock iOS devices. It contains tweaks which can be used to modify stock iOS apps without having to jailbreak the device. This proves useful when the user cannot or doesn’t want to install.
Even though Extensify is not meant to be a replacement for jailbreaking or Cydia, many people will want to have just one of it on their iOS device. This makes a comparison between the two necessary and needed. So let’s try weighing Extensify vs Cydia and see if one betters the other in any terms.
