# Now vs GradeDash

The clearest difference is rating: GradeDash at 5.0 against Now's 4.5. Now's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. GradeDash sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $4.99 per year. Now asks for nothing beyond the download.

GradeDash holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Now has 35 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
