# Professory vs Baims

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Baims at 87% against Professory's 50%. Baims also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (2K vs 28). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Professory sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 3 months and Baims sells 41 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Baims holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Baims has 2K ratings behind it against 28, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 50% of Professory's written reviews are positive against 87% of Baims's.

Professory ships an update fortnightly, Baims every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on October 11, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
