Both are free to download. MO 4Media sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $6.99 per year. Quad Link asks for nothing beyond the download.
Quad Link holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 2 and 3 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Quad Link's written reviews are positive against 40% of MO 4Media's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and October 1, 2026 respectively.
