Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
UC Davis Mobile App holds the better App Store score, 2.7 against 2.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Piazza has 279 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 14% of Piazza's written reviews are positive against 0% of UC Davis Mobile App's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Piazza ships an update every 11 days, UC Davis Mobile App every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 14, 2026.
