Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: UlaanGil at 5.0 against Big 2!'s 4.4. UlaanGil also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 6 weeks). Big 2!'s advantage is review sentiment (32% vs 0%) and ratings volume (719 vs 6). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

UlaanGil holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Big 2! has 719 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 32% of Big 2!'s written reviews are positive against 0% of UlaanGil's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Big 2! ships an update every 6 weeks, UlaanGil weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and September 30, 2026 respectively.
