Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: RiseGuide at 85% against Uncommon U's 50%. RiseGuide also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (20K vs 1). Uncommon U's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 5) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. RiseGuide sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days. Uncommon U asks for nothing beyond the download.
Uncommon U holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RiseGuide has 20K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Uncommon U's written reviews are positive against 85% of RiseGuide's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
