Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: SnapBridge at 4.4 against Link123's 3.0. SnapBridge also leads on ratings volume (64K vs 2) and review sentiment (20% vs 0%). Link123's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
