Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: AI at 4.5 against Studious's 2.4. AI also leads on ratings volume (1.1K vs 9) and update cadence (every 9 days vs monthly). Studious's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 9) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 13.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
