Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: MyManager Connect at 67% against Scouting's 13%. MyManager Connect also leads on rating (4.4 vs 2.0). Scouting's advantage is ratings volume (915 vs 7) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
