Students, upload your assignments to Gradescope more easily than ever before! If your instructor uses Gradescope for your assignments, you can now upload your submission with our mobile app. After installing and opening the app, login to see your Gradescope courses and assignments. To upload a submission, click on the assignment in the “Not Submitted” tab and either “Select File” to select an existing file from your device or “Scan” all pages of your completed work using your iPhone’s camera. Once you submit your file(s), for templated assignments, you’re all set. For variable-length assignments, “Assign pages” to indicate where your answer for each question appears within your submission. It’s that easy! After confirming, your assignment then moves to the “Submitted” tab. If needed, you can resubmit your assignment until the due date your instructor set has passed. Once it is graded and grades are published for the assignment, it then moves to the “Graded” tab.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: myPurdue at 2.8 against Gradescope's 1.4. Gradescope's advantage is ratings volume (275 vs 5) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 5 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
myPurdue holds the better App Store score, 2.8 against 1.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Gradescope has 275 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 9% of Gradescope's written reviews are positive against 0% of myPurdue's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Gradescope ships an update every 2 months, myPurdue every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
