# Linkpack vs Stache

The clearest difference is rating: Stache at 5.0 against Linkpack's 4.3. Stache also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and review sentiment (80% vs 61%). Linkpack's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ratings volume (33 vs 3). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Linkpack sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Stache sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Stache holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Linkpack has 33 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 61% of Linkpack's written reviews are positive against 80% of Stache's.

Linkpack ships an update every 2 months, Stache fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
