Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Backpacker™ at 70% against Homeschooled's 30%. Backpacker™ also leads on ratings volume (5.4K vs 310) and rating (4.5 vs 4.3). Homeschooled's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 6 weeks) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). 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. Backpacker™ sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $3.49 per 7 days and Homeschooled sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Backpacker™ holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Backpacker™ has 5.4K ratings behind it against 310, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 70% of Backpacker™'s written reviews are positive against 30% of Homeschooled's.
Backpacker™ ships an update every 6 weeks, Homeschooled every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 10, 2026 respectively.
