Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Rotary Connect holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BillionGraves has 1.4K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 43% of BillionGraves's written reviews are positive against 0% of Rotary Connect's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
BillionGraves ships an update every 2 months, Rotary Connect every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
