Verdict
MasterClass and SLAY CHALLENGE both sit at 4.9 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of SLAY CHALLENGE's written reviews are positive against 29% of MasterClass's. SLAY CHALLENGE also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.6). MasterClass's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (123K vs 3). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. MasterClass sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $119.99 per year and SLAY CHALLENGE sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $10.49 per month. 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 MasterClass against 5.0 for SLAY CHALLENGE. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MasterClass has 123K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 29% of MasterClass's written reviews are positive against 100% of SLAY CHALLENGE's.
MasterClass ships an update every 3 weeks, SLAY CHALLENGE every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and September 29, 2026 respectively.
