Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Grading Assistant at none against Easy Grade's 3. Grading Assistant also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 81%). Easy Grade's advantage is ratings volume (11K vs 3) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, rating and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Easy Grade sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Grading Assistant asks for nothing beyond the download.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Easy Grade against 5.0 for Grading Assistant. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Easy Grade has 11K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 81% of Easy Grade's written reviews are positive against 100% of Grading Assistant's.
Easy Grade ships an update fortnightly, Grading Assistant every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
