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.
ViewLink holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: OSAIO has 2.6K ratings behind it against 20, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 64% of OSAIO's written reviews are positive against 0% of ViewLink's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
OSAIO ships an update weekly, ViewLink every 6 months. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 15, 2026 respectively.
