Bridges is the best way to collect custom formatted links. Saving a link for your podcast, newsletter, or blog post has never been easier. If you’ve ever had the task to collect links for a project you’ll love Bridges. Bridges eliminates any tedious URL editing for making a raw URL more human readable. When saving a link to Bridges you give it a title and it can be used when you copy the link later on. Need a link with a custom title in markdown? One tap away. Need a URL as a hyperlink? One tap away. Even better if you set all the links into a folder you can copy all of these links in the format you need in a few taps. The supported formats include: Hyperlink, Markdown, JSON, HTML, URL. Organize the links into different folders and keep each folder in a section. All your data is stored locally and synced with iCloud so all your devices are up to date. If you download the separate macOS app for Bridges all your links and data will be there. Use the share sheet to save links to Bridges quickly and easily. When saving a link it will show a rich preview of the links info: Link Title, Hero Image, Favicon, and URL. From the share sheet it’s easy to save to any folder you’ve made in the app. The custom title for the link is automatically filled in with the URL’s link title. With Bridges saving links is easy and fun. Bridges is built by one person and aims to give you more time back by reducing tedious tasks.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: LabForge at 5.0 against Bridges's 4.4. LabForge also leads on iOS requirement (16.0 vs 26.0). Bridges's advantage is ratings volume (17 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model 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. Bridges sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and LabForge sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
LabForge holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bridges has 17 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
