Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Piaggio at 3.7 against EM Connect's 1.0. Piaggio also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 2 months). EM Connect's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and review sentiment (40% vs 22%). On price, ratings volume, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Piaggio sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. EM Connect asks for nothing beyond the download.
Piaggio holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 1.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 6 and 4 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 22% of Piaggio's written reviews are positive against 40% of EM Connect's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Piaggio ships an update monthly, EM Connect every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and July 26, 2026 respectively.
