Verdict
The clearest difference is price: LinknLink at Free against HA Kiosk's $3.99. LinknLink also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (51 vs 4). HA Kiosk's advantage is rating (3.8 vs 3.1) and in-app purchases (none vs 10). On ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
