Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Hexicheckers at none against Link!'s shown. Hexicheckers also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Link!'s advantage is update cadence (every 4 months vs every 42 months) and monetization model (ad-supported vs paid). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
