Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Sonocent Link at 3.6 against Meeting Owl's 2.8. Sonocent Link also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Meeting Owl's advantage is monetization model (free vs subscription) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 5 months). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.
