# Professory vs The Student Hub

The clearest difference is rating: Professory at 4.3 against The Student Hub's 2.3. Professory also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 14 months) and ratings volume (31 vs 3). The Student Hub's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Professory sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 3 months. The Student Hub asks for nothing beyond the download.

Professory holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Professory has 31 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 50% and 50% positive.

Professory ships an update fortnightly, The Student Hub every 14 months. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
