# Happy Link vs Link Master

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Happy Link at 92% against Link Master's 48%. Happy Link also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.3). Link Master's advantage is update cadence (every 5 months vs every 20 months) and ratings volume (223 vs 41). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Happy Link sells 7 one-off in-app purchases and Link Master sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Happy Link holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Link Master has 223 ratings behind it against 41, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 92% of Happy Link's written reviews are positive against 48% of Link Master's.

Happy Link ships an update every 20 months, Link Master every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on September 3, 2026 and September 5, 2026 respectively.
