Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Garmin Connect™ at none against Dangelo's 2. Garmin Connect™ also leads on chart position (#24 vs unranked). Dangelo's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.2). On price, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
