Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Current Altitude at 4.8 against UA Connect's 1.0. Current Altitude also leads on ratings volume (19K vs 2). UA Connect's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.
