Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: PASSING at none against Artist Connection's 12. PASSING also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 weeks). Artist Connection's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15 vs 26.5). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
