Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Unit Converter at 4.8 against Units's 4.1. Unit Converter also leads on review sentiment (88% vs 60%) and update cadence (weekly vs monthly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Units sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Unit Converter sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Unit Converter holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Unit Converter has 1.5K ratings behind it against 51, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 60% of Units's written reviews are positive against 88% of Unit Converter's.
Units ships an update monthly, Unit Converter weekly. Both last shipped on November 6, 2026.
