# ClassBook vs BDGest Mobile

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: BDGest Mobile at none against ClassBook's 4. BDGest Mobile also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8). ClassBook's advantage is review sentiment (84% vs 58%) and ratings volume (16 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ClassBook sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. BDGest Mobile asks for nothing beyond the download.

BDGest Mobile holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ClassBook has 16 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 84% of ClassBook's written reviews are positive against 58% of BDGest Mobile's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
