Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: LanLink at none against WiFi File Shuttle's 1. LanLink also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). WiFi File Shuttle's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 8 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
