Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Expense Linkup at none against Receipt Lens's shown. Expense Linkup also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Receipt Lens's advantage is ratings volume (4.3K vs 2) and chart position (#159 vs unranked). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
