# Pluszle vs Linko

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.

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.

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