# EA Connect vs Not Hotdog!

The clearest difference is rating: EA Connect at 4.9 against Not Hotdog!'s 4.4. EA Connect also leads on ratings volume (223 vs 5) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 26.2). Not Hotdog!'s advantage is review sentiment (50% vs 21%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

EA Connect holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: EA Connect has 223 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 21% of EA Connect's written reviews are positive against 50% of Not Hotdog!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

EA Connect ships an update fortnightly, Not Hotdog! every 11 days. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
