Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: UniFi at 4.7 against TM's 1.0. UniFi also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 11 months) and ratings volume (24K vs 3). TM's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
