Verdict
PointSolutions and UH Go both sit at 4.4 stars, but that hides the real split: 89% of UH Go's written reviews are positive against 22% of PointSolutions's. UH Go also leads on monetization model (free vs subscription). PointSolutions's advantage is ratings volume (12K vs 146) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 4 months). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
