Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: HUB Young at 3.8 against DeA Link's 1.2. HUB Young also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported). DeA Link's advantage is review sentiment (32% vs 19%) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and ads 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. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
HUB Young holds the better App Store score, 3.8 against 1.2. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 4 and 6 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 19% of HUB Young's written reviews are positive against 32% of DeA Link's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
HUB Young ships an update every 3 months, DeA Link every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on August 1, 2026 and August 13, 2026 respectively.
