Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Leafy at Free against BlankStudy's $1.99. Leafy also leads on update cadence (daily vs fortnightly) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). BlankStudy's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
