# Kiwi AI vs Studley

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Studley at 4.5K against Kiwi AI's 574. Studley also leads on iOS requirement (15.5 vs 17.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Kiwi AI sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per month and Studley sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 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 — 4.7 for Kiwi AI against 4.7 for Studley. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Studley has 4.5K ratings behind it against 574, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 57% of Kiwi AI's written reviews are positive against 50% of Studley's.

Kiwi AI ships an update every 10 days, Studley weekly. Both last shipped on November 5, 2026.
