In this work, we compare the two approximations of a path-connected space $X$, by the Ganea spaces $G_n(X)$ and by the realizations $\|\Lambda_\bullet X\|_{n}$ of the truncated simplicial resolutions emerging from the loop-suspension cotriple $\Sigma\Omega$. For a simply connected space $X$, we construct maps $\|\Lambda_\bullet X\|_{n-1}\to G_n(X)\to \|\Lambda_\bullet X\|_{n}$ over $X$, up to homotopy. In the case $n=2$, we prove the existence of a map $G_2(X)\to\|\Lambda_\bullet X\|_{1}$ over $X$ (up to homotopy) and conjecture that this map exists for any $n$.
