Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Wick at free with in-app purchases against Scholarly's subscription. Wick also leads on review sentiment (63% vs 26%) and device support (3 vs 1). Scholarly's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.2) and ads (none vs shown). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Wick sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Scholarly sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Scholarly holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Scholarly has 4.3K ratings behind it against 74, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 63% of Wick's written reviews are positive against 26% of Scholarly's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Wick ships an update every 9 days, Scholarly every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
