Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: tutor.new at free with in-app purchases against StudyPug's subscription. tutor.new also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). StudyPug's advantage is ratings volume (2.1K vs 3) and update cadence (every 8 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. StudyPug sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and tutor.new sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

tutor.new holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: StudyPug has 2.1K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 59% of StudyPug's written reviews are positive against 50% of tutor.new's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

StudyPug ships an update every 8 days, tutor.new every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
