Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: CollegeSwipe at none against Linus's shown. CollegeSwipe also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 68%) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Linus's advantage is ratings volume (797 vs 19) and update cadence (every 11 days vs monthly). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Linus sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $24.99 per 3 months and CollegeSwipe sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Linus against 4.8 for CollegeSwipe. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Linus has 797 ratings behind it against 19, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 68% of Linus's written reviews are positive against 100% of CollegeSwipe's.
Linus ships an update every 11 days, CollegeSwipe monthly. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
