Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: iLPA at 100% against Ultra Mobile's 50%. iLPA also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and update cadence (every 9 days vs monthly). Ultra Mobile's advantage is price (Free vs $9.99) and ratings volume (15K vs 2). On ads, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
