Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Coursicle at 4.8 against Permutation and Combination's 3.7. Coursicle also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 40 months) and ratings volume (799 vs 15). Permutation and Combination's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 17) and iOS requirement (12.1 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Coursicle holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Coursicle has 799 ratings behind it against 15, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 44% of Permutation and Combination's written reviews are positive against 38% of Coursicle's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Permutation and Combination ships an update every 40 months, Coursicle every 9 days. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
