Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Covered at 3.0 against Cell LinQ's 2.3. Covered also leads on ratings volume (46 vs 7) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). Cell LinQ's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.
