Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Student App at 4.7 against GettyGuide's 4.2. Student App also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (2.3K vs 43). GettyGuide's advantage is review sentiment (50% vs 36%) and iOS requirement (13.4 vs 15.1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Student App holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Student App has 2.3K ratings behind it against 43, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of GettyGuide's written reviews are positive against 36% of Student App's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
GettyGuide ships an update every 2 months, Student App every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
