Accept online payments from your customers with ease through payment links: simply create a payment request, generate a link through the app and share it through any medium (e.g., email, messaging apps, social media). Your customers can then follow the link to make a quick payment using their preferred payment method. We support PayPal, Stripe and Square as payment gateways. Paylinks is ideal for accepting small-value payments (such as for a yoga lesson or entry ticket to a social dance event): you don’t need any special device like a point-of-sale system or a payment terminal, and you don’t have to send invoices. Paylinks is a product of Hiveage Inc. We make online invoicing and payments fast and easy for small businesses.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Sky Systemz at 97% against Paylinks's 0%. Sky Systemz also leads on ratings volume (332 vs 2). Paylinks's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Paylinks holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sky Systemz has 332 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 97% of Sky Systemz's written reviews are positive against 0% of Paylinks's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Sky Systemz ships an update every 6 weeks, Paylinks every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on August 17, 2026 and September 9, 2026 respectively.
