# ClassDojo vs Seesaw

ClassDojo and Seesaw both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 69% of ClassDojo's written reviews are positive against 46% of Seesaw's. ClassDojo also leads on ratings volume (4.1M vs 100K) and update cadence (every 2 days vs weekly). Seesaw's advantage is iOS requirement (16.6 vs 18.0).
