Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Prosper U at 3.9 against Groupon Merchant's 3.4. Groupon Merchant's advantage is ratings volume (457 vs 9) and update cadence (weekly vs monthly). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases 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.
Prosper U holds the better App Store score, 3.9 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Groupon Merchant has 457 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 26% of Groupon Merchant's written reviews are positive against 25% of Prosper U's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Groupon Merchant ships an update weekly, Prosper U monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and August 6, 2026 respectively.
