SchoolCafé holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SchoolCafé has 112K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 77% of SchoolCafé's written reviews are positive against 100% of Dock Mennonite Academy's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
SchoolCafé ships an update every 3 months, Dock Mennonite Academy every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
