# Connected vs DevBox

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Connected at none against DevBox's 1. Connected also leads on ads (none vs shown). DevBox's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. DevBox sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Connected asks for nothing beyond the download.

Connected ships an update every 2 weeks, DevBox every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on August 1, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
