UNIK is a single-purpose app. The app is free to download where you can freely view the leaderboard as it stands. To enter, a one-time in-app purchase is required. When you enter, you’re assigned a number between 0 and 999,999,999. That number is ranked globally, from highest to lowest. You can choose to regenerate your number with an optional in-app purchase. There are no guarantees. It may go up. It may go down. There are no prizes. No hidden mechanics. No reason to care - except you will. Entry and regeneration require in-app purchases.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Spotlight at none against Unik's 2. Unik's advantage is update cadence (daily vs every 6 weeks). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
