sfty holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Onelink Connect has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of sfty's written reviews are positive against 25% of Onelink Connect's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
sfty ships an update every 4 months, Onelink Connect every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
