Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: eGurukul at 88% against BDS Next's 36%. eGurukul also leads on ratings volume (18 vs 5). BDS Next's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 3.6) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

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

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

BDS Next holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 18 and 5 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 88% of eGurukul's written reviews are positive against 36% of BDS Next's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

eGurukul ships an update every 4 weeks, BDS Next every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on August 18, 2026 and September 19, 2026 respectively.
