Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: CircuitCrush at none against LinkState's shown. CircuitCrush also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 6 weeks). LinkState's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.6). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
