# Chegg Study vs iClicker Student

The clearest difference is rating: Chegg Study at 4.7 against iClicker Student's 4.4. Chegg Study also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 weeks) and ratings volume (205K vs 37K). On price, review sentiment, 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 iClicker Student sells 8 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Chegg Study holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Chegg Study has 205K ratings behind it against 37K, so its average is the more settled of the two.
