Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Link Apt. at Free against LightSpectrum Pro's $1.99. Link Apt. also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.6). LightSpectrum Pro's advantage is update cadence (every 3 months vs every 13 months) and ratings volume (39 vs 3). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
