Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Satellite Align Pro at every 3 days against Connected Panel's every 12 months. Satellite Align Pro also leads on device support (3 vs 1). Connected Panel's advantage is iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.6). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
