Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Assignr at 4.9 against CSL Referee's 4.0. Assignr also leads on ratings volume (8.3K vs 5).

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Assignr holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Assignr has 8.3K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of CSL Referee's written reviews are positive against 73% of Assignr's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
CSL Referee ships an update every 2 months, Assignr every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 3, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
