Both are free to download. TBS sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Group Study App asks for nothing beyond the download.
TBS holds the better App Store score, 3.9 against 3.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 3 and 7 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Group Study App's written reviews are positive against 0% of TBS's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Group Study App ships an update every 6 weeks, TBS every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 4, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
