Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Dinka at 5.0 against UBMe's 4.5. Dinka also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 90%). UBMe's advantage is ratings volume (33 vs 3) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. UBMe sells 8 one-off in-app purchases and Dinka sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Dinka holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: UBMe has 33 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 90% of UBMe's written reviews are positive against 100% of Dinka's.
UBMe ships an update every 3 weeks, Dinka every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
