# Class Manager vs School Assistant

Class Manager's advantage is iOS requirement (10.0 vs 17.0). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Class Manager sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and School Assistant sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
