# Edmonton 311 vs Public Mobile

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Public Mobile at 45% against Edmonton 311's 10%. Public Mobile also leads on ratings volume (245 vs 2) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). Edmonton 311's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

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

Edmonton 311 holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Public Mobile has 245 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 10% of Edmonton 311's written reviews are positive against 45% of Public Mobile's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Edmonton 311 ships an update every 2 months, Public Mobile every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
