The clearest difference is review sentiment: Unexpected TV at 77% against Ucult's 29%. Unexpected TV also leads on rating (4.5 vs 3.1) and ratings volume (365 vs 47). Ucult's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months) and chart position (#199 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
