Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Milo Link at free against Somnee's paid. Milo Link also leads on rating (4.1 vs 3.7) and update cadence (monthly vs every 2 months). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and ads 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.
Milo Link holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 28 and 71 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 57% of Milo Link's written reviews are positive against 64% of Somnee's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Milo Link ships an update monthly, Somnee every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 6, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
