Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Islacel at 100% against MegaConecta's 61%. Islacel also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). MegaConecta's advantage is ratings volume (1.1K vs 31) and rating (4.8 vs 4.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model 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.
MegaConecta holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MegaConecta has 1.1K ratings behind it against 31, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 61% of MegaConecta's written reviews are positive against 100% of Islacel's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
MegaConecta ships an update every 2 months, Islacel every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 9, 2026 and July 7, 2026 respectively.
