Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Pluszle at 4.2 against Linko's 3.8. Pluszle also leads on ratings volume (698 vs 26). Linko's advantage is review sentiment (61% vs 42%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pluszle sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Linko sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Pluszle holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pluszle has 698 ratings behind it against 26, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 42% of Pluszle's written reviews are positive against 61% of Linko's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Pluszle ships an update every 6 weeks, Linko every 4 weeks. Both last shipped on October 22, 2026.
