Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Teacher Aide Pro at freemium against Planbook Mobile's subscription. Teacher Aide Pro also leads on review sentiment (60% vs 51%). Planbook Mobile's advantage is ratings volume (7.2K vs 113) and rating (4.8 vs 4.6). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Teacher Aide Pro sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $6.99 per month and Planbook Mobile sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Planbook Mobile holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Planbook Mobile has 7.2K ratings behind it against 113, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of Teacher Aide Pro's written reviews are positive against 51% of Planbook Mobile's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Teacher Aide Pro ships an update every 6 weeks, Planbook Mobile every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on August 30, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
