# B4Grad vs Class Monster

The clearest difference is rating: B4Grad at 4.3 against Class Monster's 3.1. B4Grad also leads on ratings volume (1.9K vs 8). Class Monster's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 5) and ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. B4Grad sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Class Monster asks for nothing beyond the download.

B4Grad holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: B4Grad has 1.9K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 46% of B4Grad's written reviews are positive against 67% of Class Monster's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
