It builds one link, perfectly, and remembers nothing. That is the whole difference - and whether it matters depends entirely on how often you do this.

Both tools hand you a long URL and stop there. What neither a form nor a builder can fix is what happens next: that URL is permanent the moment you publish it, and its parameters are only as reliable as every redirect between the click and your landing page.
That is the part an account changes - a short link you can repoint after it is printed, that carries the UTM parameters through, and that counts its own clicks. More on UTMs and redirects.
A free form published by Google as part of its analytics developer tools. You fill in a URL and the UTM parameters, and it assembles the tagged link. It is the reference implementation of the convention, and for a single one-off link it does the job perfectly well.
No. It is deliberately minimal - a form with no state, no storage and no opinions. That is a reasonable design choice. The friction only appears when you use it repeatedly: it does not remember what you typed last time, it cannot tag more than one URL, and it will not tell you that Facebook and facebook are about to become two sources.
The things repetition demands: channel presets, saved templates, a bulk mode, link history, CSV export and automatic lowercase normalization that shows you exactly what it changed. All of it free and in your browser, with no account.
No. The builder, the checker, the campaign name generator and the QR tool are all free and require no sign-up. An account matters for what happens after the link is built - shortening it, changing where it points after publishing, and seeing clicks.
Google's builder includes a campaign ID field, which maps to utm_id and is mainly used to join sessions to imported cost data in GA4. The Revolink builder focuses on the five standard parameters plus custom ones; if you are running cost-data imports, use the field Google provides.
