Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Elton at 4.7 against Mer Connect's 1.6. Elton also leads on review sentiment (47% vs 22%) and ratings volume (319 vs 8). Mer Connect's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
