Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: UAP Hub at 5.0 against Loudwire's 4.4. UAP Hub also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 months). Loudwire's advantage is ratings volume (117 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
