Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: RainPoint at 4.6 against LinkTap's 3.6. RainPoint also leads on ratings volume (1.1K vs 48) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.5). LinkTap's advantage is review sentiment (56% vs 29%) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model 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.
RainPoint holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RainPoint has 1.1K ratings behind it against 48, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 56% of LinkTap's written reviews are positive against 29% of RainPoint's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
LinkTap ships an update every 5 weeks, RainPoint every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
