Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Connect the Arts at none against ArtManager's 3. Connect the Arts also leads on iOS requirement (15.6 vs 26.0). ArtManager's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 17 months). On device support there is nothing between them.
