Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Link! at none against Color's 2. Link! also leads on update cadence (every 4 months vs every 27 months). Color's advantage is ratings volume (136 vs 24) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Color sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Link! asks for nothing beyond the download.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Link! against 4.7 for Color. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Color has 136 ratings behind it against 24, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 67% and 67% positive.
Link! ships an update every 4 months, Color every 27 months. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
