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.
Innova Designer holds the better App Store score, 3.0 against 1.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SoCo Connect has 21 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Innova Designer's written reviews are positive against 21% of SoCo Connect's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 6, 2026 and October 2, 2026 respectively.
