# 知到. vs ClassBuddy

The clearest difference is review sentiment: ClassBuddy at 100% against 知到.'s 20%. ClassBuddy also leads on rating (5.0 vs 1.2) and in-app purchases (none vs 11). 知到.'s advantage is ratings volume (323 vs 6) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 知到. sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. ClassBuddy asks for nothing beyond the download.

ClassBuddy holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 1.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 知到. has 323 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 20% of 知到.'s written reviews are positive against 100% of ClassBuddy's.

知到. ships an update every 3 weeks, ClassBuddy every 4 days. Both last shipped on October 29, 2026.
