Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Translink mLink at 1.5 against Loganair's 1.0. Translink mLink also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (8 vs 2). Loganair's advantage is review sentiment (11% vs 1%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Translink mLink holds the better App Store score, 1.5 against 1.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 2 and 8 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 11% of Loganair's written reviews are positive against 1% of Translink mLink's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Loganair ships an update every 2 months, Translink mLink fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 13, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
