# Buffer vs UNAP

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: UNAP at none against Buffer's 10. UNAP also leads on review sentiment (88% vs 54%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Buffer's advantage is ratings volume (35K vs 13) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Buffer sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. UNAP asks for nothing beyond the download.

UNAP holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Buffer has 35K ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 54% of Buffer's written reviews are positive against 88% of UNAP's.

Buffer ships an update every 5 days, UNAP every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
