Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: MyPaymentsPlus at 2.9 against StudentVUE's 2.1. StudentVUE's advantage is ratings volume (991 vs 18) and chart position (#205 vs unranked). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads 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.
MyPaymentsPlus holds the better App Store score, 2.9 against 2.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: StudentVUE has 991 ratings behind it against 18, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 17% of StudentVUE's written reviews are positive against 11% of MyPaymentsPlus'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, MyPaymentsPlus every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 14, 2026 respectively.
