Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Life.Church at 89% against ECC Connect's 6%. Life.Church also leads on rating (4.7 vs 2.3) and update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months). ECC Connect's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
