Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: GradeView at 78% against Pepco's 26%. GradeView also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). Pepco's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (15K vs 90). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Pepco holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pepco has 15K ratings behind it against 90, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 26% of Pepco's written reviews are positive against 78% of GradeView's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Pepco ships an update every 2 months, GradeView every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 20, 2026 respectively.
