Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Labster holds the better App Store score, 2.9 against 2.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 29 and 15 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 27% of Labster's written reviews are positive against 33% of UTEP Go's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Labster ships an update monthly, UTEP Go every 18 months. The most recent releases landed on September 17, 2026 and September 27, 2026 respectively.
