# Sheepong vs Pear School +

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Pear School + at 100% against Sheepong's 74%. Pear School + also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Sheepong's advantage is ratings volume (367 vs 5) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sheepong sells 13 one-off in-app purchases and Pear School + sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Pear School + holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sheepong has 367 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 74% of Sheepong's written reviews are positive against 100% of Pear School +'s.

Sheepong ships an update fortnightly, Pear School + every 11 days. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
