On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Flir Meterlink holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.2.

Written reviews complicate that: 100% of CPS Connect Pro's written reviews are positive against 20% of Flir Meterlink's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
