Verdict

The call

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.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

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.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

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.
