Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
POWERlink Suite holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: POWERlink Suite has 1.6K ratings behind it against 242, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 58% of 123\Tune+'s written reviews are positive against 56% of POWERlink Suite's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
123\Tune+ ships an update every 3 weeks, POWERlink Suite every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
