Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
PRO1 Connect holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PRO1 Connect has 2.3K ratings behind it against 94, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of BlueLink Smart Connect's written reviews are positive against 19% of PRO1 Connect's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
BlueLink Smart Connect ships an update every 3 months, PRO1 Connect every 6 weeks. Both last shipped on November 6, 2026.
