Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: PSPD at 100% against SunStrong Connect's 12%. PSPD also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.4) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.1). SunStrong Connect's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 months) and ratings volume (15K vs 10). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
