Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Lumia Stream Link at 5.0 against Deckboard's 2.8. Lumia Stream Link also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Deckboard's advantage is update cadence (every 3 months vs every 20 months) and ratings volume (16 vs 2). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
