# Attendance Tracker vs Class Planner (cloud)

The clearest difference is monetization model: Class Planner (cloud) at freemium against Attendance Tracker's subscription. Class Planner (cloud) also leads on review sentiment (71% vs 43%) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks). Attendance Tracker's advantage is ratings volume (376 vs 53). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Attendance Tracker sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Class Planner (cloud) sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Attendance Tracker has 376 ratings behind it against 53, so its average is the more settled of the two.
