Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: KCA Connect at Free against Acupuncture Points's $39.99. KCA Connect also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 months) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Acupuncture Points's advantage is ratings volume (96 vs 2) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.1). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
