Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Linkbus at 100% against Scoir's 24%. Linkbus also leads on iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.0). Scoir's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (6.2K vs 10). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
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.
Scoir holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Scoir has 6.2K ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Linkbus's written reviews are positive against 24% of Scoir's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Linkbus ships an update every 4 months, Scoir every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
