# Candle vs My Study Planner

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: My Study Planner at none against Candle's 10. My Study Planner also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 68%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Candle's advantage is ratings volume (12K vs 2) and chart position (#156 vs unranked). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Candle sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. My Study Planner asks for nothing beyond the download.

My Study Planner holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Candle has 12K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 68% of Candle's written reviews are positive against 100% of My Study Planner's.
