Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: LINQ Connect at 4.3 against MyPaymentsPlus's 2.9. LINQ Connect also leads on ratings volume (1.1K vs 18) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, review sentiment, 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.
LINQ Connect holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 2.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LINQ Connect has 1.1K ratings behind it against 18, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 11% of MyPaymentsPlus's written reviews are positive against 7% of LINQ Connect's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
MyPaymentsPlus ships an update every 2 months, LINQ Connect every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 14, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
