# PowerSchool Mobile vs Outside

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Outside at 100% against PowerSchool Mobile's 44%. Outside also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6).

Both are free to download. Outside sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. PowerSchool Mobile asks for nothing beyond the download.
