# Link Legends vs Alpha

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Alpha at 100% against Link Legends's 57%. Alpha also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Link Legends's advantage is ratings volume (62 vs 3) and rating (4.9 vs 4.7). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Link Legends sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Alpha sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Link Legends holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Link Legends has 62 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 57% of Link Legends's written reviews are positive against 100% of Alpha's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Link Legends ships an update every 2 weeks, Alpha every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
