Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Planit at 100% against Grade Control's 30%. Planit also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.2) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 17.0). Grade Control's advantage is ratings volume (495 vs 58). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
