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.
BroadLink holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 2.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BroadLink has 2.6K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 58% of BroadLink's written reviews are positive against 67% of Current Luxury's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
BroadLink ships an update monthly, Current Luxury every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 11, 2026 respectively.
