Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Pickchar at none against Uni!'s 1. Pickchar also leads on ads (none vs shown). Uni!'s advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 22 months) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
