# SAYA vs CoTutor

The clearest difference is rating: SAYA at 4.5 against CoTutor's 2.0. SAYA also leads on ratings volume (1.2K vs 1). CoTutor's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SAYA sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and CoTutor sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

SAYA holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SAYA has 1.2K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

SAYA ships an update every 5 weeks, CoTutor every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
