Both are free to download. UMU sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Trancy sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
UMU holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 156 and 205 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 57% of UMU's written reviews are positive against 67% of Trancy's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
UMU ships an update fortnightly, Trancy monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 18, 2026 respectively.
