# Link Master vs Lined

Link Master and Lined both sit at 4.3 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Lined's written reviews are positive against 45% of Link Master's. Lined also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 5 months). Link Master's advantage is ratings volume (224 vs 6). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Link Master sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Lined sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Link Master has 224 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two.
