- Infinite Campus customers currently using Campus Payments can now extend their functionality with Campus Mobile Payments. - The Campus Mobile Payments app gives districts and/or schools the ability to provide a mobile point-of-sale (POS) experience using Bluetooth mobile card readers. - Support an unlimited number of events and locations as you deem appropriate per year. - Grouping event capabilities: collect ticket sales, concessions, spirit wear, and fundraiser dollars and administer it as one group…while allowing multiple mobile POS locations, and cashiers at each location. - Creating events: events are connected to the cashiers’ device (school owned or otherwise) via a secure one-time QR code, registering the device to your instance of Infinite Campus. Each user can have a unique PIN to access the events they’re authorized to cashier for. - Reporting: choose which purchases to track in Infinite Campus by collecting a student ID for any items you’re selling. - Cost: the only costs are the Bluetooth mobile card readers and the card processing fees as described in the Campus Payments agreement. If you would like to purchase a Bluetooth card reader, please contact the Infinite Campus Sales Team at sales@infinitecampus.com.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Campus Mobile Payments holds the better App Store score, 2.4 against 1.8.

Written reviews complicate that: 14% of Modern Campus Involve's written reviews are positive against 0% of Campus Mobile Payments's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Modern Campus Involve ships an update every 3 weeks, Campus Mobile Payments every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
