Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: AceSAT at none against Linus's 14. AceSAT also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 68%). Linus's advantage is update cadence (every 11 days vs every 28 months) and ratings volume (759 vs 8). On price, rating and device support there is nothing between them.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for AceSAT against 4.8 for Linus. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Linus has 759 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 100% of AceSAT's written reviews are positive against 68% of Linus's.
AceSAT ships an update every 28 months, Linus every 11 days. The most recent releases landed on October 6, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
