No Connectarr account is required. EXPLORE DEMO Try the app with sample data before connecting a server. Free includes ads and lets you connect Bazarr, Overseerr and one core service. Pro unlocks all core services, media server integrations, push notifications and an ad-free experience. Ultimate adds advanced homelab tools and customization. A free trial is available for eligible Ultimate subscribers. IMPORTANT Connectarr is an independent companion for your own self-hosted services. It does not provide, host or stream media. You need your own configured servers to use live features. Some features require a paid subscription. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: SABClient at none against Connectarr's 12. SABClient also leads on ads (none vs shown). Connectarr's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 months) and iOS requirement (16.4 vs 26.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
