ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

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.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Groupon Merchant ships an update weekly, Prosper U monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and August 6, 2026 respectively.
