Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: SU Campus at 4.8 against Retain Mobile's 3.7. SU Campus also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs monthly) and ratings volume (50 vs 12). Retain Mobile's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 85%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
SU Campus holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 12 and 50 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Retain Mobile's written reviews are positive against 85% of SU Campus's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Retain Mobile ships an update monthly, SU Campus every 6 days. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
