# LINKcat Mobile vs SHARE Anywhere

The clearest difference is rating: SHARE Anywhere at 4.0 against LINKcat Mobile's 2.8. LINKcat Mobile's advantage is review sentiment (13% vs 0%) and ratings volume (41 vs 4). 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.

SHARE Anywhere holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LINKcat Mobile has 41 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 13% of LINKcat Mobile's written reviews are positive against 0% of SHARE Anywhere'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 October 23, 2026.
