# E6 CONNECT vs Updraft

The clearest difference is rating: Updraft at 5.0 against E6 CONNECT's 2.6. Updraft also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months). E6 CONNECT's advantage is ratings volume (330 vs 1) and chart position (#141 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. E6 CONNECT sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per month and Updraft sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Updraft holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 2.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: E6 CONNECT has 330 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

E6 CONNECT ships an update every 2 months, Updraft weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 10, 2026 respectively.
