# Flashcards! vs StudyCards

The clearest difference is rating: StudyCards at 4.2 against Flashcards!'s 1.0. StudyCards also leads on ratings volume (41 vs 1). Flashcards!'s advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 weeks) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 16.1). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Flashcards! sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and StudyCards sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
