# MasterClass vs Good Inside

MasterClass and Good Inside both sit at 4.9 stars, but that hides the real split: 85% of Good Inside's written reviews are positive against 29% of MasterClass's. Good Inside also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 weeks). MasterClass's advantage is chart position (#32 vs unranked) and ratings volume (123K vs 14K). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MasterClass sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $119.99 per year and Good Inside sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $84.00 per 3 months. 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 4.9 for Good Inside. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MasterClass has 123K ratings behind it against 14K, 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 85% of Good Inside's.

MasterClass ships an update every 3 weeks, Good Inside every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
