Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: iopool at 4.3 against INTEX Link's 2.3. iopool also leads on review sentiment (60% vs 22%) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 9 months). INTEX Link's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
