Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: uDisk at 84% against iD Stick's 17%. uDisk also leads on rating (4.3 vs 2.0) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 6 months). iD Stick's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 11.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
