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

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
SunStrong Connect holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SunStrong Connect has 15K ratings behind it against 172, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 12% of SunStrong Connect's written reviews are positive against 44% of KARR Security's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
SunStrong Connect ships an update every 3 weeks, KARR Security every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 7, 2026 respectively.
