# Exam Reader vs MarkSheet

The clearest difference is rating: MarkSheet at 4.8 against Exam Reader's 3.5. Exam Reader's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (67% vs 57%). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Exam Reader sells 7 one-off in-app purchases and MarkSheet sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

MarkSheet holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 11 and 24 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Exam Reader's written reviews are positive against 57% of MarkSheet's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Exam Reader ships an update every 3 weeks, MarkSheet monthly. The most recent releases landed on August 12, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
