Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: PointSolutions at 4.4 against BabsonMobile's 3.7. PointSolutions also leads on ratings volume (12K vs 3) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 6 months). BabsonMobile's advantage is monetization model (free vs subscription) and review sentiment (40% vs 22%). 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.
PointSolutions holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PointSolutions has 12K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 22% of PointSolutions's written reviews are positive against 40% of BabsonMobile'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, BabsonMobile every 6 months. The most recent releases landed on October 28, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
