# Lofumi vs Study Kitty

The clearest difference is update cadence: Lofumi at weekly against Study Kitty's every 4 months. Lofumi also leads on ratings volume (35 vs 3). Study Kitty's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 75%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Lofumi sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Study Kitty sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Study Kitty holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lofumi has 35 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 75% of Lofumi's written reviews are positive against 100% of Study Kitty's.
