Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Connected Clues at none against Alpha Omega's shown. Connected Clues also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 73%) and rating (4.9 vs 4.6). Alpha Omega's advantage is ratings volume (5.7K vs 9) and update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Alpha Omega sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Connected Clues sells 14 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Connected Clues holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Alpha Omega has 5.7K ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 73% of Alpha Omega's written reviews are positive against 100% of Connected Clues's.
Alpha Omega ships an update monthly, Connected Clues every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and August 17, 2026 respectively.
