# Studious vs AI

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.

Both are free to download. AI sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Studious asks for nothing beyond the download.

AI holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AI has 1.1K ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 50% of Studious's written reviews are positive against 53% of AI's.

Studious ships an update monthly, AI every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
