Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Easy Grade at 4.9 against GradingScale's 3.8. Easy Grade also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 93 months) and ratings volume (11K vs 4). GradingScale's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Easy Grade sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. GradingScale asks for nothing beyond the download.
Easy Grade holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Easy Grade has 11K ratings behind it against 4, 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 67% of GradingScale's.
Easy Grade ships an update fortnightly, GradingScale every 93 months. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 26, 2026 respectively.
