StudyMate is the companion app for “StudyMate Campus” (the enterprise version of StudyMate licensed by schools and universities). This app does NOT work with the free version of StudyMate.com. The setup is simple: login to StudyMate Campus with a web browser, locate the mobile code, and enter it into this app. The StudyMate app will then sync with your Learning Management System (like Canvas, Blackboard or Schoology). During the sync, it will locate your personal “My StudyMate” projects, as well as StudyMate activities provided in your online courses by instructors. The data is updated each time the app is started, or anytime you click the sync button. The StudyMate app lets you study offline using ten of the same activities available in the web version of StudyMate Campus, including: - Fact Cards - Fact Cards+ - Flash Cards - Fill in the Blank - Pick a Letter - Matching - Glossary - Quiz - Challenge - Show All Download it for FREE! There are NO advertisements and NO in-app purchases. This app is provided as part of your institution’s license of StudyMate Campus, which is why we don’t charge you twice. Just remember that the StudyMate app won’t be of any use if your university or school doesn’t license StudyMate Campus.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: StudyMate at none against My Study Mate's 2. StudyMate also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (83% vs 67%). My Study Mate's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 5 weeks) and ratings volume (385 vs 19). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. My Study Mate sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. StudyMate asks for nothing beyond the download.
My Study Mate holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: My Study Mate has 385 ratings behind it against 19, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of StudyMate's written reviews are positive against 67% of My Study Mate's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
StudyMate ships an update every 5 weeks, My Study Mate every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on July 4, 2026 and July 5, 2026 respectively.
