# School Assistant vs Wick

The clearest difference is rating: School Assistant at 4.8 against Wick's 4.3. School Assistant also leads on review sentiment (88% vs 63%) and ratings volume (4.7K vs 72). Wick's advantage is update cadence (every 8 days vs every 2 months) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. School Assistant sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and Wick sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

School Assistant holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: School Assistant has 4.7K ratings behind it against 72, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 88% of School Assistant's written reviews are positive against 63% of Wick's.
