Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Grades at Free against Spreadly's $2.99. Grades also leads on rating (4.9 vs 1.0) and ratings volume (13K vs 1). Spreadly's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 7) and iOS requirement (16.6 vs 18.0). On update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
