# Remind vs CASD

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Remind at 1.8M against CASD's 1. Remind also leads on chart position (#19 vs unranked). CASD's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

CASD holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Remind has 1.8M ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
