# StudentVUE vs Minga

The clearest difference is rating: Minga at 3.0 against StudentVUE's 2.1. Minga also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (7.7K vs 991). StudentVUE's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Minga holds the better App Store score, 3.0 against 2.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Minga has 7.7K ratings behind it against 991, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 17% of StudentVUE's written reviews are positive against 12% of Minga's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

StudentVUE ships an update every 3 months, Minga every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
