Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. NCEA Study sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. SKApp asks for nothing beyond the download.
SKApp holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 1 and 2 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of SKApp's written reviews are positive against 67% of NCEA Study's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
SKApp ships an update every 3 months, NCEA Study every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
