Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: DAFpay at 89% against Related Connect's 15%. DAFpay also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks). Related Connect's advantage is ratings volume (1.7K vs 11) and rating (4.8 vs 4.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Related Connect holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Related Connect has 1.7K ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 15% of Related Connect's written reviews are positive against 89% of DAFpay's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Related Connect ships an update every 6 weeks, DAFpay fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 4, 2026 respectively.
