Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Color Scouter at 5.0 against UltraBoard's 4.5. Color Scouter also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). UltraBoard's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 27 months) and ratings volume (190 vs 1). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
