Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: ConnectED at 5.0 against My Tello's 4.4. ConnectED also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). My Tello's advantage is ratings volume (1.8K vs 1) and chart position (#136 vs unranked). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
