Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: The B at 100% against CPS Link's 13%. The B also leads on rating (5.0 vs 1.9). CPS Link's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 9 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
