Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: SBS at 1.8 against Ticketlink's 1.1. SBS also leads on ratings volume (102 vs 9) and device support (3 vs 1). Ticketlink's advantage is review sentiment (57% vs 17%) and in-app purchases (none vs 15). On price, update cadence and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. SBS sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Ticketlink asks for nothing beyond the download.
SBS holds the better App Store score, 1.8 against 1.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SBS has 102 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 17% of SBS's written reviews are positive against 57% of Ticketlink's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
SBS ships an update every 3 weeks, Ticketlink monthly. Both last shipped on October 26, 2026.
