Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: sprinti at 4.9 against ÜSTRA's 1.0. sprinti also leads on update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 8 months) and review sentiment (48% vs 25%). ÜSTRA's advantage is monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
