Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Alpha Linker at 4.3 against Brinno Camera's 2.8. Alpha Linker also leads on ratings volume (3.8K vs 11) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 5 months). Brinno Camera's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Alpha Linker sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Brinno Camera asks for nothing beyond the download.
Alpha Linker holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Alpha Linker has 3.8K ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 23% of Brinno Camera's written reviews are positive against 16% of Alpha Linker's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Brinno Camera ships an update every 5 months, Alpha Linker every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 2, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
