Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: Beck Taxi at 101 against U's 5. U's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
U holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Beck Taxi has 101 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 46% of Beck Taxi's written reviews are positive against 38% of U's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 10, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
