# Grades vs Grade Tracker!

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Grades at 70% against Grade Tracker!'s 17%. Grades also leads on rating (4.9 vs 1.9) and ratings volume (13K vs 8). Grade Tracker!'s advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Grades sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Grade Tracker! sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Grades holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 1.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Grades has 13K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 70% of Grades's written reviews are positive against 17% of Grade Tracker!'s.
