Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: UC Mobile at 5.0 against PointSolutions's 4.4. UC Mobile also leads on monetization model (free vs subscription) and review sentiment (43% vs 22%). PointSolutions's advantage is update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 12 months) and ratings volume (12K vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
