Variance in credit scores (both Experian)

I have a Barclaycard which gives me a free Experian credit score every month. I have also just signed up to the MSE Credit Club, which also offers a free Experian credit score however, these scores are both different (around 100 points different).

Is one or the other more comprehensive? Any reason why I should be getting different scores from the same company?

Thanks

    Due to timing and both being fictitious.

    Yes because the scores are meaningless.

    Barclaycard updates every 60 days; MSE Credit Club updates every month.

    The data contained in the report is what's important.
