Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Mitel Connect at free against RingCentral's subscription. Mitel Connect also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.0). RingCentral's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.5) and ratings volume (77K vs 4.8K). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
