Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Compass at none against CorePlus Connected's shown. Compass also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 months). CorePlus Connected's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
