Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
UniFi Design holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Brady Express Labels has 407 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 63% of Brady Express Labels's written reviews are positive against 24% of UniFi Design's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Brady Express Labels ships an update every 2 months, UniFi Design fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
