Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: YouGov at 4.5 against Gradcracker's 4.0. YouGov also leads on ratings volume (5.1K vs 1) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks). Gradcracker's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases 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.
YouGov holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: YouGov has 5.1K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 40% and 40% positive.
Gradcracker ships an update every 5 weeks, YouGov fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 6, 2026 and October 18, 2026 respectively.
