Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Motive Fleet at 4.7 against Unity Install's 1.0. Motive Fleet also leads on ratings volume (1.7K vs 1) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). Unity Install's advantage is monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and iOS requirement (14.1 vs 16.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
