Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: State Connect at 140K against Pasta Machine's 8.7K. State Connect also leads on review sentiment (28% vs 16%) and chart position (#35 vs unranked). Pasta Machine's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks). On price, rating, 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. State Connect sells 8 one-off in-app purchases and Pasta Machine sells 22 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Pasta Machine holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: State Connect has 140K ratings behind it against 8.7K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 28% of State Connect's written reviews are positive against 16% of Pasta Machine's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
State Connect ships an update every 5 weeks, Pasta Machine fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
