StudyStep is a revision app for Australian students in Years 7 to 12. For Years 7 to 10 it follows the curriculum your child's class is actually covering: the Victorian Curriculum, the NSW syllabuses, the Western Australian Curriculum, and the Australian Curriculum used in the other states and territories. For Years 11 and 12 it covers every VCE Units 1โ4 topic in 20 subjects. THREE WAYS TO STUDY Learn โ nearly 100 illustrated lessons that teach a topic properly, with diagrams, graphs and interactive figures rather than a wall of text. Cards โ flash cards for every topic. Flip a card, say whether you knew it, and the ones you're still learning come back the next day. Test โ more than 20,000 questions across Years 7 to 12. Every question explains itself afterwards, whether the answer was right or wrong. YEARS 11 AND 12 Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Psychology, Environmental Science, General Mathematics, Mathematical Methods, Specialist Mathematics, English, Literature, English Language, Economics, Legal Studies, Business Management, Accounting, Geography, History, Politics, French and German, grouped by unit so revision matches where you are in the year. BUILT AROUND WHAT THEY ARE ACTUALLY STUDYING Students choose the topics their class is on. Questions they got wrong come back on a schedule until they stick, so revision concentrates on the gaps. ON THE WEB, AND IN CLASS Students don't need an account. With one (just an email, no password) their progress follows them to studystep.com.au and their other devices. Teachers make classes, set to-dos and see how each student is going, in the app or on the web. A student joins with the teacher's code and the work appears on their home screen. SNAP & TEST Photograph class notes, a worksheet or a practice test, and StudyStep writes a practice test and a set of flash cards on exactly what's on the page. It comes with the Parent subscription. ALSO IN THE APP A question of the day, a working area and formula sheet for maths and science, French and German read aloud, and it all works offline. FOR PARENTS Revision is free and stays free. Every question, every lesson, every flash card and your child's whole progress record cost nothing, with no advertising and nothing withheld. The optional Parent subscription lets you follow your child on your phone and at studystep.com.au: link with a code, then see each day's minutes, questions and accuracy, the last two weeks, the topics they've studied and how they went; set them to-dos; and turn on Snap & Test for them. One subscription covers up to four children. PRIVACY No advertising. No tracking. Accounts are optional for students: without one, their work stays on their device. Students under 16 need a parent's agreement by email before an account keeps their progress. A child is never asked to buy anything.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: StudyStep at none against StudyScore's shown. StudyStep also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 4 days). StudyScore's advantage is iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
