Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: Pebblebee at 227 against UniFi Design's 7. Pebblebee also leads on review sentiment (39% vs 23%) and iOS requirement (16.2 vs 18.0). UniFi Design's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, update cadence, 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 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pebblebee has 227 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 23% of UniFi Design's written reviews are positive against 39% of Pebblebee's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
UniFi Design ships an update fortnightly, Pebblebee every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 5, 2026 and November 8, 2026 respectively.
