Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Scrypted at 5.0 against LinkTap's 3.6. Scrypted also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 5 weeks). LinkTap's advantage is review sentiment (56% vs 33%) and ratings volume (48 vs 16). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Scrypted holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 48 and 16 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 56% of LinkTap's written reviews are positive against 33% of Scrypted'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, Scrypted every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and September 8, 2026 respectively.
