Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Alpicool at 3.3 against RF Connect's 2.3. Alpicool also leads on review sentiment (37% vs 5%) and ratings volume (24 vs 3). RF Connect's advantage is update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 3 months) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.5). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
