Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: WISEcode UPF Detector at 1.8K against Maskots's 4. WISEcode UPF Detector also leads on review sentiment (84% vs 72%). Maskots's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.6). 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.
Maskots holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WISEcode UPF Detector has 1.8K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 84% of WISEcode UPF Detector's written reviews are positive against 72% of Maskots's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
WISEcode UPF Detector ships an update every 11 days, Maskots every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
