Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Linkstacks at none against HearHere's 2. Linkstacks also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 26.0). HearHere's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 5 weeks) and chart position (#163 vs unranked). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.
