Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Starry Internet at 4.4 against U's 1.9. Starry Internet also leads on review sentiment (34% vs 0%) and ratings volume (2.8K vs 10). U's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
