Students can view their classroom assignments and scores, attendance and more.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: StudentVUE at 2.1 against 5's 1.4. StudentVUE also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). 5's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (6.1K vs 991). 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.
StudentVUE holds the better App Store score, 2.1 against 1.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 5 has 6.1K ratings behind it against 991, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 17% of StudentVUE's written reviews are positive against 26% of 5's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
StudentVUE ships an update every 3 months, 5 monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
