In short
Game Extractor: Game Extractor covers archive browsing and extraction in its free version, with editing and other file tools in the one-time Full Version. Check compatibility for the specific archive, and keep a backup before editing.
UABEA: Windows and Linux builds, batch operations and an MIT license make it easy to fit into a personal workflow. The decision changes when the task depends on mesh pipelines, audio encoding, video assets or the newest Unity releases. Those areas have documented gaps and extra file handling. Treat UABEA as an editor for targeted changes, not a universal extractor or asset-conversion suite.
