Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: UniFi Access at 4.9 against Double's 4.1. UniFi Access also leads on ratings volume (4.6K vs 10) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). Double's advantage is iOS requirement (9.0 vs 17.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

UniFi Access holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: UniFi Access has 4.6K ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 65% of Double's written reviews are positive against 60% of UniFi Access's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Double ships an update every 2 months, UniFi Access every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
