Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Odie's at 100% against CMA Connect's 18%. Odie's also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.5). CMA Connect's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 7 months). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
