Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Link App at Free against Start Page Redirect's $0.99. Link App also leads on review sentiment (67% vs 50%) and ratings volume (5 vs 1). Start Page Redirect's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6). On update cadence, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Link App is free to download; Start Page Redirect costs $0.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Start Page Redirect holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Link App has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Start Page Redirect's written reviews are positive against 67% of Link App's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Start Page Redirect ships an update every 6 months, Link App every 3 months. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
