# iConnectYou vs Benevity

The clearest difference is rating: iConnectYou at 3.2 against Benevity's 2.8. iConnectYou also leads on ratings volume (142 vs 28) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

iConnectYou holds the better App Store score, 3.2 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iConnectYou has 142 ratings behind it against 28, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 10% of iConnectYou's written reviews are positive against 14% of Benevity's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

iConnectYou ships an update every 6 weeks, Benevity monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 18, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
