Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ScreenLogic Connect at none against SideKick360's 3. ScreenLogic Connect also leads on device support (4 vs 2) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.6). SideKick360's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 6 weeks). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
