Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Colton Joint USD holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 1.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Q StudentConnection has 50 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Colton Joint USD's written reviews are positive against 13% of Q StudentConnection's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Colton Joint USD ships an update every 7 months, Q StudentConnection every 11 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
