# PimsPoints vs JCampus Student

The clearest difference is rating: PimsPoints at 4.1 against JCampus Student's 2.5. PimsPoints also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.1). JCampus Student's advantage is ratings volume (186 vs 8) and review sentiment (13% vs 0%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

PimsPoints holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 2.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: JCampus Student has 186 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of PimsPoints's written reviews are positive against 13% of JCampus Student's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 18, 2026 respectively.
