Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: ViewLink at 4.8 against Anona Security's 3.9. ViewLink also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Anona Security's advantage is review sentiment (25% vs 0%) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 6 months). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
