Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
BarclaysNow holds the better App Store score, 3.2 against 2.9. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 12 and 32 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 8% of BarclaysNow's written reviews are positive against 56% of UBS MobilePass's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
BarclaysNow ships an update every 2 months, UBS MobilePass every 3 months. Both last shipped on November 6, 2026.
