Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: OpenWire RSS Reader at 5.0 against Linkpack's 4.3. OpenWire RSS Reader also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Linkpack's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (33 vs 2). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
