|| Shri Hari Vayu Gurubhyo Namah || Vedic Students is now Vedic Studies. Since the last update, everything has been rebuilt: the app, the player, and the library behind it. What you can do now: * Listen to the same chant three ways: Learn repeats after the teacher, Understand explains it, Listen plays the full rendition. * Add a chant's text from a link, a paste or a PDF and read along full screen. Vedic svara marks are drawn as marks, exactly as printed. * Split sandhi into its words and keep private study notes on any line. * Download chants and listen with no signal at all. * Repeat a chant 108 or 1008 times with an honest counter: only full recitations count. * See which parts of a chant you have truly heard, not just how far you scrubbed. * The daily panchanga for your own city, drawn from printed almanacs, with any day shareable as a picture. * Playlists, bookmarked moments, and your place kept across devices. * A light theme and a warm dark theme for evening practice. Free, with no ads and nothing to buy, from a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Corrections to any text are genuinely welcome: write to contact@vedicstudies.org. || Shree Krishnarpanamastu ||

Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: Vedic Studies at 31 against Mantram's 3. Vedic Studies also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.6). Mantram's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 2 weeks). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases 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. Vedic Studies sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Mantram sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Vedic Studies against 5.0 for Mantram. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Vedic Studies has 31 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Vedic Studies ships an update every 2 weeks, Mantram weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
