Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: State Connect at 4.4 against ru's 3.4. State Connect also leads on ratings volume (143K vs 51) and update cadence (monthly vs every 4 months). ru's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (46% vs 28%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ru sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and State Connect sells 8 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

State Connect holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: State Connect has 143K ratings behind it against 51, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 46% of ru's written reviews are positive against 28% of State Connect's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

ru ships an update every 4 months, State Connect monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
