# Linkpack vs RSS

The clearest difference is price: Linkpack at Free against RSS's $4.99. Linkpack also leads on ratings volume (33 vs 2) and iOS requirement (10.3 vs 17.6). RSS's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 61%) and update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Linkpack is free to download; RSS costs $4.99 up front. Linkpack sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and RSS sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

RSS holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Linkpack has 33 ratings behind it against 2, 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 100% of RSS's.

Linkpack ships an update every 2 months, RSS weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and October 1, 2026 respectively.
