Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Studley at 4.7 against My Second Teacher's 3.9. Studley also leads on ratings volume (4.4K vs 7) and update cadence (weekly vs every 4 weeks). My Second Teacher's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. My Second Teacher sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and Studley sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Studley holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Studley has 4.4K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 50% and 50% positive.
My Second Teacher ships an update every 4 weeks, Studley weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 4, 2026 and October 19, 2026 respectively.
