Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Chint Connect holds the better App Store score, 1.6 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Chint Connect has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 20% of HiPortal's written reviews are positive against 7% of Chint Connect's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
HiPortal ships an update monthly, Chint Connect every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on August 15, 2026 and August 18, 2026 respectively.
