# JoinLinks vs SoshareApp

The clearest difference is update cadence: SoshareApp at every 3 days against JoinLinks's every 2 weeks. SoshareApp also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and review sentiment (100% vs 92%). JoinLinks's advantage is ratings volume (43 vs 7) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. JoinLinks sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and SoshareApp sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

SoshareApp holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: JoinLinks has 43 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 92% of JoinLinks's written reviews are positive against 100% of SoshareApp's.

JoinLinks ships an update every 2 weeks, SoshareApp every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
