# Chegg Study vs Coursicle

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Chegg Study at 205K against Coursicle's 658. Coursicle's advantage is review sentiment (39% vs 20%) and update cadence (every 8 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Chegg Study sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $15.99 per month 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.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Chegg Study against 4.8 for Coursicle. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Chegg Study has 205K ratings behind it against 658, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 20% of Chegg Study's written reviews are positive against 39% of Coursicle's.

Chegg Study ships an update every 3 weeks, Coursicle every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
