# My Study Life vs StudyIB

The clearest difference is review sentiment: StudyIB at 100% against My Study Life's 61%. StudyIB also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5). My Study Life's advantage is ratings volume (6.2K vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. My Study Life sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and StudyIB sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $10.00 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

StudyIB holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: My Study Life has 6.2K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 61% of My Study Life's written reviews are positive against 100% of StudyIB's.
