# 清单自习室 vs CoStudy

The clearest difference is ads: 清单自习室 at none against CoStudy's shown. CoStudy's advantage is ratings volume (72 vs 5) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.2). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 清单自习室 sells 13 one-off in-app purchases and CoStudy sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 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 — 4.8 for 清单自习室 against 4.8 for CoStudy. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CoStudy has 72 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 100% of 清单自习室's written reviews are positive against 93% of CoStudy's.

清单自习室 ships an update monthly, CoStudy every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 30, 2026.
