Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Metro Checkout at 3.0 against ECC Connect's 2.3. Metro Checkout also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). ECC Connect's advantage is ratings volume (31 vs 8) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases 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.
Metro Checkout holds the better App Store score, 3.0 against 2.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 8 and 31 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Metro Checkout's written reviews are positive against 6% of ECC Connect's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Metro Checkout ships an update fortnightly, ECC Connect every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
