# Loudwire vs UAP Hub

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

Both are free to download. Loudwire sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and UAP Hub sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
