# Planit vs School Assistant

The clearest difference is ratings volume: School Assistant at 4.6K against Planit's 58. School Assistant also leads on device support (5 vs 3). Planit's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 87%) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 17.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Planit sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $1.49 per year and School Assistant sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Planit against 4.8 for School Assistant. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: School Assistant has 4.6K ratings behind it against 58, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 100% of Planit's written reviews are positive against 87% of School Assistant's.
