Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Connected at none against MacMagical's shown. Connected also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported). MacMagical's advantage is ratings volume (5 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for Connected against 5.0 for MacMagical. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MacMagical has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
