Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: KineScribe at none against Easy Grade's 3. KineScribe also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (15 vs 17.6). Easy Grade's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 11 months) and ratings volume (11K vs 1). 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. KineScribe 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 KineScribe. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Easy Grade has 11K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Easy Grade ships an update fortnightly, KineScribe every 11 months. Both last shipped on October 29, 2026.
