Digital Ocean vs Linode - Which one?

Okay so I am looking at a VPS for playing about with Linux servers, so I don't want to go over $10 mark, but I would like suggestions on which one to purchase.

Now what is making me like Linode is their mobile app, but I don't know if its really useful for playing about, I just want the VPS for experiments, but DOs $5 is looking mighty attractive to me.

So which would you personally recommend from a noobs stand point and wanting to just play around with it.

 

Thanks!
