Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Sage Systems at 3.8 against SentriConnect's 2.2. Sage Systems also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 weeks) and ratings volume (761 vs 56). SentriConnect's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
