Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: ALSO. at 4.8 against UNIT 1's 4.0. UNIT 1's advantage is review sentiment (33% vs 0%) and ratings volume (158 vs 10). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
ALSO. holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: UNIT 1 has 158 ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of UNIT 1's written reviews are positive against 0% of ALSO.'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
UNIT 1 ships an update every 3 weeks, ALSO. monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
