# EduManager vs Routine

The clearest difference is rating: Routine at 5.0 against EduManager's 4.0. EduManager's advantage is ratings volume (22 vs 1) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. EduManager sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Routine sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Routine holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: EduManager has 22 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
