# ClassApp vs Baobab

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Baobab at 84% against ClassApp's 48%. ClassApp's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 5) and ratings volume (1.3K vs 13). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Baobab sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $17.99 per month. ClassApp asks for nothing beyond the download.

ClassApp holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ClassApp has 1.3K ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 48% of ClassApp's written reviews are positive against 84% of Baobab's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

ClassApp ships an update every 3 weeks, Baobab fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
