Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: EF Link at 3.3 against InmateSales's 2.4. EF Link also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months). InmateSales's advantage is ratings volume (244 vs 14) and chart position (#106 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
