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.
WebConnect Client holds the better App Store score, 3.0 against 2.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Parallels Client has 57 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of WebConnect Client's written reviews are positive against 21% of Parallels Client's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
WebConnect Client ships an update every 5 months, Parallels Client every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and October 4, 2026 respectively.
