Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
SchoolPass holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SchoolPass has 4.9K ratings behind it against 20, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of SCS Connect(Ed)'s written reviews are positive against 20% of SchoolPass's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
SCS Connect(Ed) ships an update every 5 months, SchoolPass monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 3, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
