Takt is a fresh take on finding your biggest time wasters during your day. Starting, stopping, or switching tracking to another activity is always just one tap. Through simple but effective integration with Live Activities, what you're tracking always remains visible at a glance on your Lock Screen or in the Dynamic Island. Using Takt tracking you can manually or semi-automatically keep an underlying Live Activity running that puts tracking access just a tap away, all day. Review your days in as little or as many details as you want with Takt's Timeline, or export your days, weeks, and months to CSV, JSON, or a clean PDF. Takt is free with up to 3 active Activities and 5 Tags. Want more? A lifetime Full version is available, or subscribe monthly and after 12 payments, even non-consecutively, the Full version unlocks permanently. And we're just getting started. Better Mac integration and Tablet optimization, Siri & Shortcuts, Focus Mode integration, and an Apple Watch companion app are all on the way. Takt Terms available at https://taktapp.net/terms

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Takt at every 2 days against LinkEdit's every 2 months. LinkEdit's advantage is device support (4 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
