Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Khotta AI at 4.5 against Classmate's 3.4. Khotta AI also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (100 vs 5). Classmate's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Classmate sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Khotta AI sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Khotta AI holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Khotta AI has 100 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 67% of Classmate's written reviews are positive against 73% of Khotta AI's.
Classmate ships an update every 2 months, Khotta AI fortnightly. Both last shipped on November 7, 2026.
