Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: n at 3.4 against mconnect control's 2.6. n also leads on review sentiment (48% vs 32%) and iOS requirement (7.1 vs 13.0). mconnect control's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (31 vs 5). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
