Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: EA Connect at none against Riot Mobile's shown. EA Connect also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and rating (4.9 vs 4.7). Riot Mobile's advantage is ratings volume (13K vs 133) and review sentiment (34% vs 21%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

EA Connect holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Riot Mobile has 13K ratings behind it against 133, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 34% of Riot Mobile's written reviews are positive against 21% of EA Connect's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Riot Mobile ships an update every 3 weeks, EA Connect fortnightly. Both last shipped on October 18, 2026.
