Verdict
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.

Grades is free to download; Spreadly costs $2.99 up front. Grades sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Spreadly asks for nothing beyond the download.
Grades holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Grades has 13K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 50% of Spreadly's written reviews are positive against 70% of Grades's.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 11, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
