Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Akari at 4.6 against Linko 2's 4.3. Akari also leads on ratings volume (30 vs 3). Linko 2's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Linko 2 sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Akari sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Akari holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Akari has 30 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 38% of Linko 2's written reviews are positive against 33% of Akari's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
