Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Off at 4.5 against AMD Link's 2.4. Off also leads on review sentiment (52% vs 24%) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). AMD Link's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
