Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Five Towns College at 4.9 against CampusGroups's 4.4. Five Towns College also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.4). CampusGroups's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 8 months) and ratings volume (5.3K vs 25). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Five Towns College holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CampusGroups has 5.3K ratings behind it against 25, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 12% of CampusGroups's written reviews are positive against 0% of Five Towns College's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

CampusGroups ships an update every 3 weeks, Five Towns College every 8 months. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
