# PopStudy vs Studdy

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Studdy at 13K against PopStudy's 9. Studdy also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). PopStudy's advantage is monetization model (ad-supported vs freemium) and review sentiment (100% vs 89%). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PopStudy sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Studdy sells 35 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for PopStudy against 4.8 for Studdy. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Studdy has 13K ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 100% of PopStudy's written reviews are positive against 89% of Studdy's.

PopStudy ships an update fortnightly, Studdy every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on October 4, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
