Verdict
The clearest difference is price: CMCA Connect at Free against Hidden Australia's $4.99. CMCA Connect also leads on device support (3 vs 1). Hidden Australia's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 6 weeks). On ads, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
