# Solvo vs Study Buddy

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Solvo at 5.6K against Study Buddy's 331. Solvo also leads on chart position (#160 vs unranked). Study Buddy's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Solvo sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Study Buddy sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Solvo against 4.6 for Study Buddy. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Solvo has 5.6K ratings behind it against 331, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 53% of Solvo's written reviews are positive against 59% of Study Buddy's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
