Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Uncrossed at 4.7 against Untangle's 4.0. Uncrossed also leads on ratings volume (412 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.1). Untangle's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 10 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
