Widget for Sheets also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 weeks). Car Link Connect's advantage is ratings volume (7K vs 2) and iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.1).

Both are free to download. Car Link Connect sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days and Widget for Sheets sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
