ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

BigFuture School holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BigFuture School has 18K ratings behind it against 2.1K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 55% of RAISE365's written reviews are positive against 28% of BigFuture School's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

RAISE365 ships an update every 3 weeks, BigFuture School monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
