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.
CarolinaU holds the better App Store score, 3.3 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: myLU has 212 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 13% of myLU's written reviews are positive against 0% of CarolinaU's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
myLU ships an update every 3 weeks, CarolinaU monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
