Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
BISSELL Connect holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BISSELL Connect has 6.1K ratings behind it against 462, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 48% of BISSELL Connect's written reviews are positive against 57% of bObsweep's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
BISSELL Connect ships an update fortnightly, bObsweep monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
