Both are free to download. Join Numbers sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Bad Student! asks for nothing beyond the download.
Join Numbers holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Join Numbers has 19K ratings behind it against 14, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Bad Student!'s written reviews are positive against 41% of Join Numbers's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Bad Student! ships an update every 3 weeks, Join Numbers every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on July 28, 2026 and September 30, 2026 respectively.
