Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: U at free against LUV's paid. U also leads on rating (2.3 vs 2.0) and review sentiment (29% vs 15%). LUV's advantage is ratings volume (824 vs 17). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
U holds the better App Store score, 2.3 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LUV has 824 ratings behind it against 17, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 15% of LUV's written reviews are positive against 29% of U's.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 19, 2026 and September 10, 2026 respectively.
