Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Square Go at fortnightly against FlowGate Connect's every 6 weeks. Square Go also leads on chart position (#48 vs unranked). FlowGate Connect's advantage is device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
