Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Instant Cal at none against Ubox's 10. Instant Cal also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly). Ubox's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and chart position (#64 vs unranked). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
