Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Equinox+ at 4.7 against Desk Connect's 2.0. Equinox+ also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 7 months) and ratings volume (45K vs 2). Desk Connect's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1). On price, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.
