Both are free to download. A Needle Pulling Thread sells 20 in-app purchases, starting at $29.99 per year. myAIE Student App asks for nothing beyond the download.
myAIE Student App holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: A Needle Pulling Thread has 6 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 70% of A Needle Pulling Thread's written reviews are positive against 43% of myAIE Student App's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
A Needle Pulling Thread ships an update every 13 months, myAIE Student App every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 2, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
