The clearest difference is rating: iPlacentia at 2.4 against iDevices Connected's 2.1. iDevices Connected's advantage is review sentiment (22% vs 0%) and ratings volume (386 vs 7). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
iPlacentia holds the better App Store score, 2.4 against 2.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iDevices Connected has 386 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 22% of iDevices Connected's written reviews are positive against 0% of iPlacentia's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
iDevices Connected ships an update every 2 months, iPlacentia every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
