Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: StudyPug at 4.7 against Word Problems's 2.8. StudyPug also leads on update cadence (every 8 days vs every 9 months) and ratings volume (2.1K vs 4). Word Problems's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 13) and ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. StudyPug sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Word Problems asks for nothing beyond the download.
StudyPug holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: StudyPug has 2.1K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Word Problems's written reviews are positive against 59% of StudyPug's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Word Problems ships an update every 9 months, StudyPug every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
