Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: AeroGarden at 4.1 against ONF Link's 2.0. AeroGarden also leads on update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 6 months) and ratings volume (657 vs 26). ONF Link's advantage is iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.5). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
AeroGarden holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AeroGarden has 657 ratings behind it against 26, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 17% of ONF Link's written reviews are positive against 14% of AeroGarden's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
ONF Link ships an update every 6 months, AeroGarden every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on July 25, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
