Verdict

The call

Throne and Linklay both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Linklay's written reviews are positive against 38% of Throne's. Throne's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ads (none vs shown). On price, rating, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
