# Notewise vs StudentHub

The clearest difference is rating: StudentHub at 5.0 against Notewise's 4.6. Notewise's advantage is ratings volume (292 vs 2) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 9 days). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Notewise sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and StudentHub sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $11.99 per 6 months. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

StudentHub holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Notewise has 292 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Notewise ships an update every 2 days, StudentHub every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on November 5, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
