Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: ProgressBook Parent/Student at 4.7 against 4's 4.2. ProgressBook Parent/Student also leads on ratings volume (4.5K vs 13) and device support (3 vs 1). 4's advantage is review sentiment (75% vs 47%) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 5 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
ProgressBook Parent/Student holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ProgressBook Parent/Student has 4.5K ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of 4's written reviews are positive against 47% of ProgressBook Parent/Student's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
4 ships an update every 2 months, ProgressBook Parent/Student every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on August 21, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
