Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: UltraPro at none against Xfinity Home's shown. UltraPro also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and review sentiment (48% vs 28%). Xfinity Home's advantage is ratings volume (12K vs 270) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 4 months). On price, rating, 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.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.3 for Xfinity Home against 4.2 for UltraPro. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Xfinity Home has 12K ratings behind it against 270, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 28% of Xfinity Home's written reviews are positive against 48% of UltraPro's.
Xfinity Home ships an update every 2 months, UltraPro every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and July 5, 2026 respectively.
