# UL vs X

The clearest difference is rating: X at 3.7 against UL's 1.4. UL's advantage is ratings volume (22 vs 3). 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.

X holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 1.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: UL has 22 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.

UL ships an update every 2 months, X every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 16, 2026 and July 5, 2026 respectively.
