Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: DSBmobile at 84% against Untis Mobile's 51%. DSBmobile also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 17.0). Untis Mobile's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.2) and ratings volume (1.8K vs 190). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Untis Mobile holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Untis Mobile has 1.8K ratings behind it against 190, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 84% of DSBmobile's written reviews are positive against 51% of Untis Mobile's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

DSBmobile ships an update monthly, Untis Mobile every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on November 1, 2026.
