Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: GradeView at 25 against Scholarsnotes's 1. Scholarsnotes's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases 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. GradeView sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Scholarsnotes sells 19 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Scholarsnotes holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GradeView has 25 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 9, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
