Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: E at none against HobbyConnect's shown. E also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). HobbyConnect's advantage is iOS requirement (12.2 vs 16.4). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
