Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Thomas Edison Elementary at 100% against Remind's 44%. Thomas Edison Elementary also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 17.0).

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Remind holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Remind has 1.8M ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 44% of Remind's written reviews are positive against 100% of Thomas Edison Elementary's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Remind ships an update monthly, Thomas Edison Elementary every 20 months. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
