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. EstudyLog sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Exam Countdown & Study Planner sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Exam Countdown & Study Planner holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: EstudyLog has 40 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
