Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Linear Mobile at 57% against Spaces's 7%. Linear Mobile also leads on rating (4.8 vs 3.4) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Spaces's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
