Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Parents Gateway holds the better App Store score, 3.0 against 1.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 6 and 2 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 11% of Parents Gateway's written reviews are positive against 33% of PSBAccess's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Parents Gateway ships an update monthly, PSBAccess every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 18, 2026 and June 1, 2026 respectively.
