Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
MAW Hire Purchase holds the better App Store score, 3.0 against 2.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: connectIPS has 37 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 8% of connectIPS's written reviews are positive against 0% of MAW Hire Purchase's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
connectIPS ships an update every 3 weeks, MAW Hire Purchase fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 19, 2026 respectively.
