Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
98point6 by Transcarent holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 98point6 by Transcarent has 51K ratings behind it against 95, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 48% of JeffConnect's written reviews are positive against 36% of 98point6 by Transcarent's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
JeffConnect ships an update every 3 months, 98point6 by Transcarent every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on July 31, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
