Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: BitLife at every 11 days against Papers Grade Please!'s every 2 months. BitLife also leads on ratings volume (1.8M vs 116K) and rating (4.8 vs 4.6). Papers Grade Please!'s advantage is review sentiment (63% vs 51%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
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. BitLife sells 20 one-off in-app purchases and Papers Grade Please! sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
BitLife holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BitLife has 1.8M ratings behind it against 116K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 51% of BitLife's written reviews are positive against 63% of Papers Grade Please!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
BitLife ships an update every 11 days, Papers Grade Please! every 2 months. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
