Linkpack and Wire both sit at 4.3 stars, but that hides the real split: 61% of Linkpack's written reviews are positive against 29% of Wire's. Linkpack also leads on iOS requirement (10.3 vs 26.0). Wire's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, rating, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.
