# Better Student vs Wellnotes

The clearest difference is rating: Better Student at 5.0 against Wellnotes's 3.9. Wellnotes's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 9 days) and review sentiment (88% vs 71%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Better Student sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and Wellnotes sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Better Student holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Wellnotes has 28 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of Better Student's written reviews are positive against 88% of Wellnotes's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Better Student ships an update every 9 days, Wellnotes every 2 days. Both last shipped on October 30, 2026.
