Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Thryve at 100% against StudyTok AI's 50%. Thryve also leads on rating (4.4 vs 3.5) and update cadence (every 3 days vs fortnightly). StudyTok AI's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
