Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Sol at 100% against SunStrong Connect's 12%. Sol also leads on iOS requirement (13.4 vs 15.1). SunStrong Connect's advantage is rating (4.4 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (15K vs 4). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
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 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SunStrong Connect has 15K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 12% of SunStrong Connect's written reviews are positive against 100% of Sol's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
SunStrong Connect ships an update every 2 weeks, Sol every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
