Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Dah at 100% against Gradescope's 9%. Dah also leads on rating (4.4 vs 1.4) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). Gradescope's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and ratings volume (259 vs 8). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
