Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: DU CrimsonConnect at free against PointSolutions's subscription. PointSolutions's advantage is ratings volume (12K vs 118) and rating (4.4 vs 4.1). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads 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.
PointSolutions holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PointSolutions has 12K ratings behind it against 118, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 22% of PointSolutions's written reviews are positive against 25% of DU CrimsonConnect's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
PointSolutions ships an update every 5 weeks, DU CrimsonConnect monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
