Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: UUID at 5.0 against APN Settings's 2.2. UUID also leads on review sentiment (50% vs 31%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.6). APN Settings's advantage is ratings volume (18 vs 1) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
