It depends a lot on your pricing structure too. The lower price your game is, the better Unreal looks. Heck at free/open source you’re paying Unreal nothing and Unity a flat rate so then it’s infinite percent of your revenue.

The Unity is fee is capped at 2.5% though. For example is your game is $20 it’s between 0.35-0.55%.

Unless you’re making < $200k then Unity is entirely free (and the mandatory splash screen is not a thing anymore). So really this only applies if your revenue is between 200k and 1 million (which is certainly not an insignificant proportion of the market but yeah it’s really not that clear cut and depends on your situation, also there is a lot more uncertainty in Unity’s case..).
