Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Challenger at Free against GR Linker's $7.99. Challenger also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 58%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.5). GR Linker's advantage is ratings volume (112 vs 6) and chart position (#183 vs unranked). On update cadence, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
