Linkboard holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 6 and 3 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of ToolBox's written reviews are positive against 71% of Linkboard's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

ToolBox ships an update weekly, Linkboard every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 4, 2026 and November 13, 2026 respectively.
