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.
Aladdin Connect holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Aladdin Connect has 114K ratings behind it against 15, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 65% of Aladdin Connect's written reviews are positive against 75% of KB Home's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Aladdin Connect ships an update every 3 months, KB Home every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 4, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
