Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: UniFi at 4.7 against Xscope's 2.5. UniFi also leads on ratings volume (23K vs 83) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 weeks). Xscope's advantage is iOS requirement (11.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
