Both are free to download. ClassDojo sells 17 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. Thomas Edison Elementary asks for nothing beyond the download.
ClassDojo holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ClassDojo has 4.1M ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 69% of ClassDojo's written reviews are positive against 100% of Thomas Edison Elementary's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
ClassDojo ships an update every 2 days, Thomas Edison Elementary every 20 months. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
