Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Glenstar Connect at 5.0 against BE's 2.3. Glenstar Connect also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). BE's advantage is ratings volume (135 vs 7) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
