Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: GESC Student at none against fGet's 2. GESC Student also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 66%). fGet's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.1) and ratings volume (992 vs 27). On price, update cadence, device support and iOS requirement 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. fGet sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. 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 992 ratings behind it against 27, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 66% 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 October 25, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
