Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: UPlate at 89% against Aura's 37%. UPlate also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 10) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks). Aura's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.4) and ratings volume (3.2K vs 25). On price and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Aura sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. UPlate asks for nothing beyond the download.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Aura holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Aura has 3.2K ratings behind it against 25, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 37% of Aura's written reviews are positive against 89% of UPlate's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Aura ships an update every 3 weeks, UPlate every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on November 8, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
