# Flow vs Study Bunny

The clearest difference is ads: Flow at none against Study Bunny's shown. Flow also leads on review sentiment (86% vs 54%) and device support (5 vs 2). Study Bunny's advantage is ratings volume (21K vs 1.7K) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 18.0). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Flow sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Study Bunny sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Flow against 4.7 for Study Bunny. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Study Bunny has 21K ratings behind it against 1.7K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 86% of Flow's written reviews are positive against 54% of Study Bunny's.

Flow ships an update every 4 weeks, Study Bunny every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
