Jupiter edges ahead on our editorial score (4.7/5), but these tools aren’t straight substitutes.

The deciding factor is usually the trade-off you can least afford — 1inch means accepting that ui can be overwhelming for non-technical users compared to uniswap's simplicity, while Jupiter means solana-only.
