Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Channel Link at Free against SpectraMania's $7.99. Channel Link also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 months) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 16.0). SpectraMania's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
