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.
Paseo CU holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 2.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Paseo CU has 424 ratings behind it against 14, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 42% of DowneyFCU's written reviews are positive against 14% of Paseo CU's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
DowneyFCU ships an update monthly, Paseo CU every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
