Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Sidus Link at 626 against All in App's 2. Sidus Link also leads on review sentiment (62% vs 50%). All in App's advantage is iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

All in App holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sidus Link has 626 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of All in App's written reviews are positive against 62% of Sidus Link's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

All in App ships an update every 4 weeks, Sidus Link every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 9, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
