Verdict
Course Hero and SnapSolve both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 53% of SnapSolve's written reviews are positive against 28% of Course Hero's. SnapSolve also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). Course Hero's advantage is ratings volume (65K vs 377) and chart position (#107 vs unranked). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
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. Course Hero sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month and SnapSolve sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Course Hero holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Course Hero has 65K ratings behind it against 377, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 28% of Course Hero's written reviews are positive against 53% of SnapSolve's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Course Hero ships an update fortnightly, SnapSolve every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 19, 2026 respectively.
