Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Dividend Tracker + at 4.3 against CEF Connect's 3.7. Dividend Tracker + also leads on update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 6 months) and ratings volume (41 vs 3). CEF Connect's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and ads (none vs shown). On price there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Dividend Tracker + holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dividend Tracker + has 41 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 38% of CEF Connect's written reviews are positive against 29% of Dividend Tracker +'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

CEF Connect ships an update every 6 months, Dividend Tracker + every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 2, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
