# UB Mobile vs iClicker Student

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.

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.
