Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: myHomework Student Planner at 81% against Coursicle's 38%. myHomework Student Planner also leads on ratings volume (4.3K vs 810) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). Coursicle's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 9 days vs monthly). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. myHomework Student Planner sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Coursicle sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Coursicle holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: myHomework Student Planner has 4.3K ratings behind it against 810, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 81% of myHomework Student Planner's written reviews are positive against 38% of Coursicle's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

myHomework Student Planner ships an update monthly, Coursicle every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
