# CrewMobile vs CONNECT

The clearest difference is review sentiment: CONNECT at 61% against CrewMobile's 4%. CONNECT also leads on rating (4.6 vs 1.6) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months). CrewMobile's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. CrewMobile sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and CONNECT sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

CONNECT holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 1.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CONNECT has 335 ratings behind it against 35, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 4% of CrewMobile's written reviews are positive against 61% of CONNECT's.

CrewMobile ships an update every 3 months, CONNECT every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on November 6, 2026.
