# Postfun vs Conect

The clearest difference is rating: Postfun at 4.4 against Conect's 3.4. Postfun also leads on ratings volume (61 vs 5). Conect's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ads (none vs shown). On price, monetization model, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Postfun sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Conect asks for nothing beyond the download.

Postfun holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Postfun has 61 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 70% of Postfun's written reviews are positive against 100% of Conect's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Postfun ships an update every 6 weeks, Conect every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
