Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Cortland Connect at none against POLISHED's shown. Cortland Connect also leads on ratings volume (5.1K vs 3) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). POLISHED's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 6 weeks) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.4). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
