Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Link at 100% against KRTplus's 25%. Link also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported). KRTplus's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 3.4) and ratings volume (57 vs 5). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
KRTplus holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: KRTplus has 57 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Link's written reviews are positive against 25% of KRTplus's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Link ships an update every 2 months, KRTplus every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 8, 2026 and September 29, 2026 respectively.
