Both are free to download. Beavers Idle sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Metro Connect sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Metro Connect holds the better App Store score, 3.4 against 3.1. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 81 and 235 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 44% of Beavers Idle's written reviews are positive against 17% of Metro Connect's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
