Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: ECGO. at 100% against UniFi's 47%. ECGO. also leads on iOS requirement (9.0 vs 18.0). UniFi's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 3.6) and ratings volume (25K vs 5). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
UniFi holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: UniFi has 25K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 47% of UniFi's written reviews are positive against 100% of ECGO.'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
UniFi ships an update fortnightly, ECGO. every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
