# A Baby Monkey Run vs Monkey Student

The clearest difference is rating: Monkey Student at 4.5 against A Baby Monkey Run's 3.5. Monkey Student also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (4.3K vs 486). A Baby Monkey Run's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. A Baby Monkey Run sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Monkey Student sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Monkey Student holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Monkey Student has 4.3K ratings behind it against 486, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 52% and 53% positive.

A Baby Monkey Run ships an update every 2 months, Monkey Student fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
