# Covered vs Cell LinQ

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.

Both are free to download. Covered sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Cell LinQ asks for nothing beyond the download.

Covered holds the better App Store score, 3.0 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Covered has 46 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 35% and 35% positive.

Covered ships an update every 46 months, Cell LinQ every 2 months. Both last shipped on November 2, 2026.
