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.
Prime Smart holds the better App Store score, 2.9 against 2.1. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 24 and 36 respectively.

Prime Smart ships an update every 4 weeks, connectIPS every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
