Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: SplitPick at 5.0 against Link's 3.9. SplitPick also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs weekly). Link's advantage is monetization model (free vs freemium) and ratings volume (78 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
