Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Aiper at 4.1 against U Vacuum's 3.2. Aiper also leads on ratings volume (265 vs 6). U Vacuum's advantage is review sentiment (57% vs 46%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). 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.
Aiper holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Aiper has 265 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 46% of Aiper's written reviews are positive against 57% of U Vacuum's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
