# Link Match vs One Thrust

The clearest difference is ads: One Thrust at none against Link Match's shown. One Thrust also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 80%). Link Match's advantage is ratings volume (172 vs 5) and iOS requirement (12.5 vs 14.0). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Link Match sells 18 one-off in-app purchases and One Thrust sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for Link Match against 5.0 for One Thrust. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Link Match has 172 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 80% of Link Match's written reviews are positive against 100% of One Thrust's.
