Teachers create assignments, see all their students’ work in real-time, and give LOTS of student feedback. Best of all, students can help each other anonymously. Using Classkick, feedback to students increases by 300% and grading time is cut in half. “Classkick is every teacher’s dream.” - Lynne Shalman, Chapin School “Students love Classkick...it was magic!” - Greg Port, Seton College TEACHERS... - CREATE paperless assignments using existing worksheets, audio, video or web content. - SEE every students’ work simultaneously. - GIVE instant feedback when it is most important. - FACILITATE peer-to-peer feedback and learning.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: NCTest at 3.7 against Classkick's 3.1. NCTest also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15). Classkick's advantage is review sentiment (33% vs 0%) and update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
NCTest holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Classkick has 725 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of NCTest's written reviews are positive against 33% of Classkick's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
NCTest ships an update every 2 months, Classkick weekly. The most recent releases landed on June 6, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
