# STEEZY vs Model Academy

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Model Academy at 100% against STEEZY's 38%. Model Academy also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). STEEZY's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (13K vs 5). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. STEEZY sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Model Academy sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $29.00 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Model Academy holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: STEEZY has 13K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 38% of STEEZY's written reviews are positive against 100% of Model Academy's.

STEEZY ships an update every 3 weeks, Model Academy every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 11, 2026 respectively.
