Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: mydlink at 4.5 against Lygo Connect's 3.7. mydlink also leads on ratings volume (45K vs 110) and review sentiment (24% vs 8%). Lygo Connect's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 3 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
