# ParentPlus vs SchoolPass

The clearest difference is rating: SchoolPass at 4.7 against ParentPlus's 1.7. SchoolPass also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (4.8K vs 254). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

SchoolPass holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 1.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SchoolPass has 4.8K ratings behind it against 254, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 6% of ParentPlus's written reviews are positive against 20% of SchoolPass's.

ParentPlus ships an update every 5 months, SchoolPass fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
