Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: fGet at 4.6 against GESC Student's 4.1. fGet also leads on ratings volume (988 vs 26) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). GESC Student's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 65%) and in-app purchases (none vs 1). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. fGet sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. GESC Student asks for nothing beyond the download.
fGet holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: fGet has 988 ratings behind it against 26, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 65% of fGet's written reviews are positive against 100% of GESC Student's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
fGet ships an update every 3 weeks, GESC Student every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 20, 2026 and September 13, 2026 respectively.
