Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: SIG CONNECT at 4.8 against Pack Planner's 3.7. SIG CONNECT also leads on ratings volume (601 vs 6). Pack Planner's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 9) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
