Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Terp Schedule at none against Grades's 7. Terp Schedule also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 70%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 18.0). Grades's advantage is rating (4.9 vs 4.5) and ratings volume (13K vs 10). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Grades sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Terp Schedule asks for nothing beyond the download.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Grades holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Grades has 13K ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 70% of Grades's written reviews are positive against 100% of Terp Schedule's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Grades ships an update every 2 weeks, Terp Schedule monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 12, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
