Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Campusknot at 4.1 against VCU Mobile's 2.7. Campusknot also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (349 vs 20). VCU Mobile's advantage is review sentiment (56% vs 33%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Campusknot holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 2.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Campusknot has 349 ratings behind it against 20, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 56% of VCU Mobile's written reviews are positive against 33% of Campusknot's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
VCU Mobile ships an update every 5 months, Campusknot fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
