Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Palma School at 100% against Remind's 44%. Palma School also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). Remind's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.1) and ratings volume (1.8M vs 39). 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.
Remind holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Remind has 1.8M ratings behind it against 39, 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 Palma School's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Remind ships an update monthly, Palma School every 6 months. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
