Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: E at none against HobbyConnect's shown. E also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). HobbyConnect's advantage is iOS requirement (12.2 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
