Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Linss at 100% against iPerf's 42%. Linss also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.2) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 9 months). iPerf's advantage is monetization model (free vs paid) and ratings volume (19 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
