# LetterCode vs Linkle

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.

Both are free to download. LetterCode sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Linkle sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for LetterCode against 5.0 for Linkle. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LetterCode has 29 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

LetterCode ships an update fortnightly, Linkle every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
