Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: MyPaso at none against Yale Access's shown. MyPaso also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Yale Access's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 7 months) and ratings volume (75K vs 3). On price, rating, 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.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Yale Access against 5.0 for MyPaso. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Yale Access has 75K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Yale Access ships an update fortnightly, MyPaso every 7 months. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and September 30, 2026 respectively.
