Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Linkboard at none against Pasteline's shown. Linkboard also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months). Pasteline's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (14.1 vs 18.0). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pasteline sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $2.99 per month and Linkboard sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Pasteline holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 6 and 12 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 68% of Pasteline's written reviews are positive against 73% of Linkboard's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Pasteline ships an update every 3 months, Linkboard fortnightly. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
