Verdict

The call

StudyFetch and Proll both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Proll's written reviews are positive against 32% of StudyFetch's. Proll also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). StudyFetch's advantage is update cadence (every 8 days vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (14K vs 8). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
