Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: LetterCode at none against Linkle's shown. LetterCode also leads on ratings volume (29 vs 2). Linkle's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs fortnightly). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
