Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Only One at Free against UnearthU's $6.99. Only One also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 4 months) and rating (4.7 vs 4.3). UnearthU's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ads (none vs shown). On review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.
