No searching, no browsing, just tap a button and put the amiibo near the phone. *only supported on iPhone. Help: DM @zrzrv5 on twitter or dev@1sec.plus Before You Buy - This App is an Amiibo Management App, not some magical 'summon Raymond to my island' App. It has a built-in database that supports 740+ amiibos. Still, until Nintendo releases a new Amiibo card series, it can not summon new villagers added in New Horizon into your island. - This app won't provide key files.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Umiibo at Free against AmiiBot's $2.99. Umiibo also leads on rating (4.4 vs 3.9). AmiiBot's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and review sentiment (62% vs 43%). On ratings volume, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Umiibo is free to download; AmiiBot costs $2.99 up front. Umiibo sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. AmiiBot asks for nothing beyond the download.
Umiibo holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.9. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 135 and 110 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 62% of AmiiBot's written reviews are positive against 43% of Umiibo's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
AmiiBot ships an update every 6 days, Umiibo fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
