# EdLight vs myClassroom

The clearest difference is review sentiment: EdLight at 100% against myClassroom's 38%. EdLight also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and in-app purchases (none vs 3). myClassroom's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 6 weeks) and ratings volume (355 vs 7). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. myClassroom sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. EdLight asks for nothing beyond the download.

EdLight holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: myClassroom has 355 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of EdLight's written reviews are positive against 38% of myClassroom's.

EdLight ships an update every 6 weeks, myClassroom weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 8, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
