Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: myBackpack at fortnightly against Voting4Schools's every 13 months. myBackpack also leads on review sentiment (50% vs 38%) and ratings volume (76 vs 18). Voting4Schools's advantage is rating (3.3 vs 2.9) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). 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.
Voting4Schools holds the better App Store score, 3.3 against 2.9. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 18 and 76 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 38% of Voting4Schools's written reviews are positive against 50% of myBackpack's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Voting4Schools ships an update every 13 months, myBackpack fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 7, 2026 and June 1, 2026 respectively.
