# Studley vs Aplus

The clearest difference is monetization model: Studley at free with in-app purchases against Aplus's subscription. Studley also leads on ratings volume (4.4K vs 13) and chart position (#185 vs unranked). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Studley sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days and Aplus sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 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 Studley against 4.7 for Aplus. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Studley has 4.4K ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Studley ships an update weekly, Aplus every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and October 11, 2026 respectively.
