Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Thryve at 100% against Studley's 50%. Thryve also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs weekly). Studley's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (4.4K vs 28). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Studley sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days and Thryve sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Studley holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Studley has 4.4K ratings behind it against 28, 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 Thryve's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Studley ships an update weekly, Thryve every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 2, 2026 respectively.
