Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: BeoLink at 2.9 against M&D Connect's 2.0. BeoLink also leads on review sentiment (52% vs 16%) and iOS requirement (7.0 vs 14.0). M&D Connect's advantage is ratings volume (124 vs 9) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
