# Kids A vs ClassDojo

The clearest difference is rating: ClassDojo at 4.8 against Kids A's 3.6. ClassDojo also leads on review sentiment (69% vs 35%) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 3 weeks). Kids A's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (16.6 vs 18.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Kids A sells 9 one-off in-app purchases and ClassDojo sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ClassDojo holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ClassDojo has 4.1M ratings behind it against 6.7K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 35% of Kids A's written reviews are positive against 69% of ClassDojo's.

Kids A ships an update every 3 weeks, ClassDojo every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on November 8, 2026 and November 10, 2026 respectively.
