Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Cove Connect at 4.4 against Mlily Control's 2.1. Cove Connect also leads on ratings volume (4.8K vs 20) and update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). Mlily Control's advantage is review sentiment (45% vs 22%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Cove Connect holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 2.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cove Connect has 4.8K ratings behind it against 20, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 45% of Mlily Control's written reviews are positive against 22% of Cove Connect's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Mlily Control ships an update monthly, Cove Connect fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
