Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Awake Link at none against SipaBoards's shown. Awake Link also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 4 months) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). SipaBoards's advantage is review sentiment (33% vs 0%) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 16.4). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
