Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: I at 5.0 against U8's 4.0. I also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). U8's advantage is review sentiment (64% vs 50%). On price, ratings volume and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. U8 sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. I asks for nothing beyond the download.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

I holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 5 and 9 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of I's written reviews are positive against 64% of U8's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

I ships an update every 9 days, U8 every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on June 4, 2026 and September 17, 2026 respectively.
