Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: UniFi Design at 5.0 against Xscope's 2.5. UniFi Design also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks). Xscope's advantage is ratings volume (83 vs 3) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 18.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
UniFi Design holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 2.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Xscope has 83 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 24% of UniFi Design's written reviews are positive against 30% of Xscope's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
UniFi Design ships an update fortnightly, Xscope every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 13, 2026 respectively.
