Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Richard at 100% against Studley's 50%. Studley's advantage is ratings volume (4.4K vs 43) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Studley sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days and Richard sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Studley holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Studley has 4.4K ratings behind it against 43, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Studley's written reviews are positive against 100% of Richard's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
