Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Floatcard at 54% against UBC Alumni's 0%. Floatcard also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 37 months) and ratings volume (82 vs 2). UBC Alumni's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, ads, 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.
UBC Alumni holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Floatcard has 82 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of UBC Alumni's written reviews are positive against 54% of Floatcard's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
UBC Alumni ships an update every 37 months, Floatcard every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
