Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: SPED Goals at 4.8 against GoWorksheet's 4.2. SPED Goals also leads on update cadence (every 8 days vs every 2 months). GoWorksheet's advantage is ratings volume (69 vs 6) and monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs paid). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
