Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: iAquaLink at 4.7 against AudioFetch's 3.1. iAquaLink also leads on ratings volume (101K vs 149) and iOS requirement (13.2 vs 15.0). AudioFetch's advantage is review sentiment (56% vs 28%) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
iAquaLink holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iAquaLink has 101K ratings behind it against 149, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 28% of iAquaLink's written reviews are positive against 56% of AudioFetch's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. Both last shipped on November 1, 2026.
