# LinkCN vs 番茄加速器

The clearest difference is rating: LinkCN at 4.5 against 番茄加速器's 3.7. LinkCN also leads on ratings volume (740 vs 3) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 14.0). 番茄加速器's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (45% vs 33%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. LinkCN sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $2.49 per 7 days and 番茄加速器 sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

LinkCN holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LinkCN has 740 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of LinkCN's written reviews are positive against 45% of 番茄加速器's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

LinkCN ships an update every 6 weeks, 番茄加速器 monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
