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.
Flame Connect holds the better App Store score, 3.0 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Flame Connect has 40 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of E Smart's written reviews are positive against 6% of Flame Connect's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly monthly. The most recent releases landed on June 1, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
