The clearest difference is price: Visera Link at Free against Ref Guide for Essential Oils's $4.99. Visera Link also leads on rating (4.6 vs 4.0) and in-app purchases (none vs 2). Ref Guide for Essential Oils's advantage is review sentiment (59% vs 33%) and chart position (#26 vs unranked). On ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
