Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: CommStar Credit Union at none against PSE mBANKING's shown. CommStar Credit Union also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). PSE mBANKING's advantage is ratings volume (648 vs 8) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
PSE mBANKING holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PSE mBANKING has 648 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of CommStar Credit Union's written reviews are positive against 44% of PSE mBANKING's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
CommStar Credit Union ships an update every 3 weeks, PSE mBANKING every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 6, 2026 and October 26, 2026 respectively.
