Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: Connect™ at every 2 months against Argus Publications's every 10 months. Connect™ also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). Argus Publications's advantage is ratings volume (90 vs 6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
