# MyU vs Smart School

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Smart School at none against MyU's 7. Smart School also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). MyU's advantage is update cadence (every 8 days vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (23K vs 1). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MyU sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Smart School asks for nothing beyond the download.

Smart School holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MyU has 23K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

MyU ships an update every 8 days, Smart School every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and September 19, 2026 respectively.
