Verdict
UVCeed and Airthings both sit at 4.5 stars, but that hides the real split: 75% of UVCeed's written reviews are positive against 33% of Airthings's. UVCeed also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Airthings's advantage is ratings volume (3K vs 8) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
