Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Unibuddy holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.2. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 106 and 22 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 7% of Unibuddy's written reviews are positive against 33% of StarRez Go's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Unibuddy ships an update weekly, StarRez Go every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 10, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
