# Easy Grade vs Grade Control

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Easy Grade at 81% against Grade Control's 30%. Easy Grade also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.2) and ratings volume (11K vs 494). Grade Control's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Easy Grade sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Grade Control sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Easy Grade holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Easy Grade has 11K ratings behind it against 494, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 81% of Easy Grade's written reviews are positive against 30% of Grade Control's.

Easy Grade ships an update fortnightly, Grade Control monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
