Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: QHanja at 5.0 against 스터디한자's 3.7. QHanja also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 months). 스터디한자's advantage is review sentiment (74% vs 44%) and ratings volume (3 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. QHanja sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and 스터디한자 sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

QHanja holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 1 and 3 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 44% of QHanja's written reviews are positive against 74% of 스터디한자's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

QHanja ships an update every 3 days, 스터디한자 every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
