Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: 竹知了 at none against Spotlight Linking's shown. 竹知了 also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 8 months). Spotlight Linking's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.0). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
