Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: iClicker Student at 4.4 against UB Mobile's 2.3. iClicker Student also leads on update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 10 months) and ratings volume (37K vs 33). UB Mobile's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 8) and review sentiment (44% vs 17%). On price 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. iClicker Student sells 8 one-off in-app purchases. UB Mobile asks for nothing beyond the download.
iClicker Student holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iClicker Student has 37K ratings behind it against 33, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 44% of UB Mobile's written reviews are positive against 17% of iClicker Student's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
UB Mobile ships an update every 10 months, iClicker Student every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 1, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
