Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Beaba Zen Connect at 83% against Philips Air+'s 48%. Beaba Zen Connect also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Philips Air+'s advantage is ratings volume (1.4K vs 7) and rating (4.7 vs 4.4). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Philips Air+ holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Philips Air+ has 1.4K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of Beaba Zen Connect's written reviews are positive against 48% of Philips Air+'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Beaba Zen Connect ships an update every 7 months, Philips Air+ every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
