Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: DATOM at 5.0 against The MSing Link's 4.4. The MSing Link's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (5 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. DATOM sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and The MSing Link sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
DATOM holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: The MSing Link has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
DATOM ships an update every 2 months, The MSing Link every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 6, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
