Verdict

The call

Sub and GenSpring Link both sit at 4.4 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of GenSpring Link's written reviews are positive against 15% of Sub's. GenSpring Link also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.5). Sub's advantage is ratings volume (786 vs 4) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 6 months). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
