Who each one is for

The Govee Lights 2 (100 ft) is for a roofline with a normal soffit or fascia where you want more lights per foot. It has 72 lights at 17 in, 40 lm each, with a white that stops around 4000K.

The Linkind HP5 (100 ft) is for a house that is awkward to fix to. Its bracket takes a wall or a ceiling face, it has 60 lights at 20 in, and it offers a tunable 2700K to 6500K white.

The differences that matter

Pitch and count. The Lights 2 has 72 lights at 17 in. The HP5 has 60 at 20 in, so the Govee line is a little denser from the street.
White. The HP5 lists 2700K to 6500K tunable white. The Lights 2 mixes its white from the colour LEDs and tops out near 4000K, so it has no true warm setting. See warm vs cool white.
Mounting. The HP5 ships 60 brackets, screws and 3M adhesive, and the bracket fits any eave type on a wall or ceiling face. The Lights 2 comes with VHB glue, clips, screws and adapter buckles. Wall distance and installing an eave kit cover placement.
Strand layout and cutting. The HP5 comes as six strands of 16.6 ft and manages up to 150 ft. Our data does not say it can be cut. The Lights 2 cannot be cut and joins in fixed segments, up to 9 light segments and 4 extension cables.
Weather. Both have IP67 lights and an IP65 controller or control box. The HP5 is rated -4F to 140F; the Lights 2 listing data does not give a range.
Brightness. The Lights 2 states 40 lm a light. We have no per-light figure for the HP5.
App. The Lights 2 uses Govee Home with Alexa and Google Assistant. The HP5 works with Alexa and Google and is controlled through Aidot or the Linkind app, with 85 scenes, DIY and music sync. Neither claims Matter in our data.

Which to buy

Warm white you can tune: the HP5. The HP5 also sits a cost tier lower.
Flush fascia, box eave or porch ceiling: the HP5, because the bracket is the point of the kit.
More lights and a denser line, with a Govee app: the Lights 2.
Colour only, normal soffit: the Lights 2. Check the listing warranty terms on both before buying.

When to pick neither

If you want dedicated warm white with the Govee app, the Pro 100 is the closer fit, and the Pro 100 against the HP5 shows the white-channel trade. If you only need lights for a short holiday window, permanent vs seasonal is worth reading first.
