Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Poll at 2.0 against Atrium Campus Connect's 1.2. Poll also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.0). Atrium Campus Connect's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ratings volume (198 vs 48). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Poll sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Atrium Campus Connect asks for nothing beyond the download.
Poll holds the better App Store score, 2.0 against 1.2. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 48 and 198 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 5% of Poll's written reviews are positive against 7% of Atrium Campus Connect's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
