Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Jot at 89% against iLinkbox's 0%. Jot also leads on rating (4.9 vs 3.0) and update cadence (weekly vs every 9 months). 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. Jot sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and iLinkbox sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Jot holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Jot has 45 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 89% of Jot's written reviews are positive against 0% of iLinkbox's.
Jot ships an update weekly, iLinkbox every 9 months. The most recent releases landed on November 5, 2026 and November 8, 2026 respectively.
