Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Gallagher Devices at 86% against UniFi's 47%. Gallagher Devices also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). UniFi's advantage is ratings volume (25K vs 1) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
