Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: Linear Mobile at 2.3K against The Information Polls's 2. The Information Polls's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs weekly). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases 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. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
The Information Polls holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Linear Mobile has 2.3K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Linear Mobile ships an update weekly, The Information Polls every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
