Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: CPU at 4.6 against linkbox's 2.6. CPU also leads on ratings volume (23K vs 11). linkbox's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. CPU sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. linkbox asks for nothing beyond the download.
CPU holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CPU has 23K ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of CPU's written reviews are positive against 100% of linkbox's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
CPU ships an update monthly, linkbox every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
