# TopBid vs PilotConnect

The clearest difference is rating: TopBid at 5.0 against PilotConnect's 4.2. TopBid also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 80%) and update cadence (every 3 days vs weekly). PilotConnect's advantage is ratings volume (5 vs 1) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TopBid sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $24.99 per month and PilotConnect sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

TopBid holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PilotConnect has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of TopBid's written reviews are positive against 80% of PilotConnect's.

TopBid ships an update every 3 days, PilotConnect weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 3, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
