Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: FluvalConnect at monthly against Gamalta's every 4 months. FluvalConnect also leads on rating (2.2 vs 2.0) and ratings volume (33 vs 5). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases 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.
FluvalConnect holds the better App Store score, 2.2 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FluvalConnect has 33 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 20% of Gamalta's written reviews are positive against 18% of FluvalConnect's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Gamalta ships an update every 4 months, FluvalConnect monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 2, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
