Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Somfy myLink holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 2.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Somfy myLink has 9K ratings behind it against 45, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 17% of Somfy myLink's written reviews are positive against 34% of Connector+'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Somfy myLink ships an update every 4 months, Connector+ every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 19, 2026 respectively.
