# Gradepen vs Qconcursos

The clearest difference is update cadence: Qconcursos at weekly against Gradepen's every 2 months. Qconcursos also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.5) and ratings volume (152 vs 2). Gradepen's advantage is review sentiment (63% vs 47%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Gradepen sells 8 one-off in-app purchases and Qconcursos sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Qconcursos holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Qconcursos has 152 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 63% of Gradepen's written reviews are positive against 47% of Qconcursos's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Gradepen ships an update every 2 months, Qconcursos weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
