Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Dream Dubai at 83% against Union COOP's 23%. Dream Dubai also leads on rating (4.8 vs 3.4) and ads (none vs shown). Union COOP's advantage is monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases) and update cadence (every 11 days vs every 3 weeks). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
