Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: MANCOSA Student Comms at 5.0 against Ed's 3.1. Ed's advantage is review sentiment (25% vs 0%) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 4 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
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.
MANCOSA Student Comms holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ed has 8 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of MANCOSA Student Comms's written reviews are positive against 25% of Ed's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
MANCOSA Student Comms ships an update every 4 months, Ed every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
