Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: i at 2.7 against Uni Lab's 1.8. Uni Lab's advantage is update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 14 months) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 16.0). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

i holds the better App Store score, 2.7 against 1.8. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 35 and 16 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 20% of i's written reviews are positive against 22% of Uni Lab's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

i ships an update every 14 months, Uni Lab every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 18, 2026 and September 15, 2026 respectively.
