# Nix Toolkit vs UGREEN NAS

The clearest difference is rating: Nix Toolkit at 4.7 against UGREEN NAS's 4.1. UGREEN NAS's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and review sentiment (53% vs 33%). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Nix Toolkit sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. UGREEN NAS asks for nothing beyond the download.

Nix Toolkit holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.1. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 190 and 312 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of Nix Toolkit's written reviews are positive against 53% of UGREEN NAS's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Nix Toolkit ships an update every 6 weeks, UGREEN NAS monthly. Both last shipped on October 19, 2026.
