Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: SAGE ShowLink at 100% against ESP+'s 50%. SAGE ShowLink also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 5 months). ESP+'s advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.6) and ratings volume (119 vs 21). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
ESP+ holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ESP+ has 119 ratings behind it against 21, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of SAGE ShowLink's written reviews are positive against 50% of ESP+'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
SAGE ShowLink ships an update every 2 months, ESP+ every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
