Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: NuWave Connect at 4.4 against ePEF's 1.8. NuWave Connect also leads on ratings volume (618 vs 11) and iOS requirement (12.3 vs 15.0). ePEF's advantage is update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
NuWave Connect holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 1.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: NuWave Connect has 618 ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 13% of NuWave Connect's written reviews are positive against 18% of ePEF's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
NuWave Connect ships an update every 3 months, ePEF every 6 weeks. Both last shipped on October 21, 2026.
