Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Campus Student at 1.9 against 5's 1.4. Campus Student also leads on chart position (#32 vs #209) and ratings volume (23K vs 6.6K). 5's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months) and review sentiment (27% vs 19%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model 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. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Campus Student holds the better App Store score, 1.9 against 1.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 6.6K and 23K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 27% of 5's written reviews are positive against 19% of Campus Student's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
5 ships an update monthly, Campus Student every 3 months. Both last shipped on October 30, 2026.
