Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Reactor Connect at 3.0 against ElcoMaster's 2.4. ElcoMaster's advantage is review sentiment (25% vs 0%) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 6 months). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Reactor Connect holds the better App Store score, 3.0 against 2.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 10 and 6 respectively.
