# School Assistant vs Assignment Tracker

The clearest difference is ratings volume: School Assistant at 4.6K against Assignment Tracker's 1. School Assistant also leads on device support (5 vs 2). Assignment Tracker's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, update cadence, 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 Assignment Tracker sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Assignment Tracker holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: School Assistant has 4.6K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
