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. Campusly sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. York U Safety asks for nothing beyond the download.
Campusly holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Campusly has 30 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of York U Safety's written reviews are positive against 67% of Campusly's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
York U Safety ships an update every 19 months, Campusly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
