Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: MU Engage at none against iClicker Student's 8. MU Engage also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.4) and device support (3 vs 1). iClicker Student's advantage is ratings volume (37K vs 200) and review sentiment (17% vs 0%). On price, update cadence, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

MU Engage holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iClicker Student has 37K ratings behind it against 200, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 17% of iClicker Student's written reviews are positive against 0% of MU Engage's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

iClicker Student ships an update every 6 weeks, MU Engage every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
