Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Square at 4.8 against Renzi Connect's 2.0. Square also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (3.6K vs 1). Renzi Connect's advantage is monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
