Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: UBC Alumni at 5.0 against Push Employee's 2.9. UBC Alumni also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.1). Push Employee's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 37 months) and review sentiment (18% vs 0%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model 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. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
UBC Alumni holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 2.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Push Employee has 41 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 18% of Push Employee's written reviews are positive against 0% of UBC Alumni's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Push Employee ships an update every 2 months, UBC Alumni every 37 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
