In a digitalized world we all rely on a growing amount of services for education, work and recreation. Therefore it is essential that reliable, secure and trustworthy services exist for numerous user groups and a large variety of applications. The idea behind the Academic Cloud is to offer such services to students and employees of universities and higher education institutes in Niedersachsen, Germany. Hosted in academic data centers according to German data protection and data security directives, the Academic Cloud supports studies and work with a growing digital service portfolio. The Academic Cloud is co-funded by the „Niedersächsisches Ministerium für Wissenschaft und Kultur“ (MWK).

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Campus HSB at every 10 days against academicCloud's every 6 weeks. academicCloud's advantage is iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
