Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: UniFi at 4.7 against nViewer's 2.7. UniFi also leads on monetization model (free vs paid) and review sentiment (47% vs 20%). nViewer's advantage is iOS requirement (10.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
UniFi holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 2.7.
