Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Alpha Linker at Free against GR Linker's $7.99. Alpha Linker also leads on ratings volume (3.8K vs 112) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). GR Linker's advantage is review sentiment (58% vs 17%) and in-app purchases (none vs 1). On ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
