DEN Insider holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 3.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 22 and 16 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 78% of BaseConnect's written reviews are positive against 29% of DEN Insider's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
