# Linkpack vs OpenWire RSS Reader

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.

Both are free to download. Linkpack sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and OpenWire RSS Reader sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

OpenWire RSS Reader 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 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Linkpack ships an update every 2 months, OpenWire RSS Reader weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
