About

Study Pact

Studying is easier when someone else is showing up too. Study Pact turns revision into one simple weekly agreement between you and a friend. Choose a realistic target, agree which apps should remain available, agree a light-hearted forfeit and start focusing together. MAKE ONE CLEAR PACT Agree how many hours you will each revise this week. Your shared progress stays visible, so both people always know where they stand. PROTECT YOUR FOCUS Choose the apps you genuinely need for revision. During a focus session, Study Pact uses Apple's Screen Time technology to shield other apps. There is no pause: finish the planned session or end it early to restore access. Sessions ended early do not count towards the pact. SEE YOUR FRIEND SHOW UP Know when your study buddy is revising and watch both progress rings move towards the same goal. OPTIONAL REVISION PROOF After a completed session, you can take a fresh photo of your revision work. Proof is optional, camera-only and shared privately with your connected friend. KEEP THE FORFEIT FRIENDLY Choose a small, non-monetary forfeit such as buying the next coffee or making the drinks for the next session—just enough to make the promise matter. No money is involved and Study Pact never handles payments between friends. Local focus sessions are available without payment. Shared accountability features require a Study Pact subscription. Eligible new annual subscribers may receive a 14-day trial. Apple confirms eligibility, price and billing details before purchase.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Google Voice at none against Study Pact's 2. Google Voice also leads on chart position (#33 vs unranked). Study Pact's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs weekly) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.1). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
