# Study Bunny vs Folderly

The clearest difference is ads: Folderly at none against Study Bunny's shown. Folderly also leads on review sentiment (87% vs 54%) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 weeks). Study Bunny's advantage is ratings volume (21K vs 3.2K) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Study Bunny sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and Folderly sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Study Bunny against 4.8 for Folderly. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Study Bunny has 21K ratings behind it against 3.2K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 54% of Study Bunny's written reviews are positive against 87% of Folderly's.

Study Bunny ships an update every 3 weeks, Folderly every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 10, 2026 respectively.
