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. Spave sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per month. Linqto asks for nothing beyond the download.
Spave holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Linqto has 93 ratings behind it against 15, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 37% of Linqto's written reviews are positive against 0% of Spave's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Linqto ships an update every 3 weeks, Spave every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on October 16, 2026.
