# Teachers Grade Book vs Grade Control

Teachers Grade Book and Grade Control both sit at 4.0 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Teachers Grade Book's written reviews are positive against 30% of Grade Control's. Teachers Grade Book also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 17.0). Grade Control's advantage is ratings volume (494 vs 3) and update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Teachers Grade Book sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Grade Control sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Grade Control holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Grade Control has 494 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Teachers Grade Book's written reviews are positive against 30% of Grade Control's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Teachers Grade Book ships an update every 3 months, Grade Control monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
