Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: CoRe MSU at 100% against Campusknot's 33%. CoRe MSU also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.1) and in-app purchases (none vs 2). Campusknot's advantage is ratings volume (349 vs 4) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
