Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Total Connect 2.0 at free against HAVEN's paid. Total Connect 2.0 also leads on ratings volume (290K vs 376) and update cadence (monthly vs every 2 months). HAVEN's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.6). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
HAVEN holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Total Connect 2.0 has 290K ratings behind it against 376, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 23% of Total Connect 2.0's written reviews are positive against 17% of HAVEN's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Total Connect 2.0 ships an update monthly, HAVEN every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
