Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Pip at none against uDown's 1. Pip also leads on rating (4.5 vs 4.3) and update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 2 months). uDown's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.1 vs 16.6). On price, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.
