Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
ChargerLink holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: HW Link V2 has 35 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 11% of ChargerLink's written reviews are positive against 30% of HW Link V2's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
ChargerLink ships an update every 2 months, HW Link V2 every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
