Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: X at 3.5K against CODES Connect's 1. X also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 5 months) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
CODES Connect holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: X has 3.5K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
X ships an update monthly, CODES Connect every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 9, 2026 respectively.
