Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: McMaster at 4.3 against UniFi Store's 3.4. McMaster also leads on review sentiment (68% vs 43%) and ratings volume (220 vs 37). UniFi Store's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

McMaster holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: McMaster has 220 ratings behind it against 37, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 68% of McMaster's written reviews are positive against 43% of UniFi Store's.
McMaster ships an update every 5 weeks, UniFi Store every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 17, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
