# KDE Connect vs NagMon

The clearest difference is ratings volume: KDE Connect at 279 against NagMon's 7. KDE Connect also leads on review sentiment (61% vs 50%) and device support (4 vs 2). NagMon's advantage is update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 3 months). 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.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.2 for KDE Connect against 4.1 for NagMon. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: KDE Connect has 279 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 61% of KDE Connect's written reviews are positive against 50% of NagMon's.

KDE Connect ships an update every 3 months, NagMon every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
