Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Bastinct at none against UniDate's 3. Bastinct also leads on ads (none vs shown). UniDate's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 weeks) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
