# Tresta vs PhoneLynk

Tresta and PhoneLynk both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 94% of PhoneLynk's written reviews are positive against 17% of Tresta's. PhoneLynk also leads on device support (3 vs 1). Tresta's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 9). On price, rating, ratings volume and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PhoneLynk sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $29.99 per month. Tresta asks for nothing beyond the download.

Tresta holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 12 and 29 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 17% of Tresta's written reviews are positive against 94% of PhoneLynk's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Tresta ships an update every 4 weeks, PhoneLynk monthly. Both last shipped on November 2, 2026.
