# SEPTA vs Uni Go

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Uni Go at 100% against SEPTA's 13%. SEPTA's advantage is rating (4.4 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (29K vs 4). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

SEPTA holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SEPTA has 29K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 13% of SEPTA's written reviews are positive against 100% of Uni Go's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
