Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: CATLINK at 2.7 against 公众号助手's 2.1. CATLINK also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume 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.
CATLINK holds the better App Store score, 2.7 against 2.1. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 54 and 98 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 31% of 公众号助手's written reviews are positive against 27% of CATLINK's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
公众号助手 ships an update every 3 weeks, CATLINK weekly. Both last shipped on November 2, 2026.
