If your school uses Edsby, this free app lets you access some of its features on the go. The Edsby app has many of the capabilities of the main Edsby web browser interface. Some complex features for certain types of users, such as the Edsby gradebook used by teachers, aren't available on devices with small screen sizes. Edsby is helping education transform to the modern digital era. School districts, states, provinces, and countries adopt Edsby for community engagement, learning management, assessment & reporting, and student well-being.

The clearest difference is rating: Syllabics at 5.0 against Edsby's 1.6. Syllabics also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 3 months) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.6). Edsby's advantage is ratings volume (12 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
