# Course Hero vs FlashHomework

The clearest difference is rating: Course Hero at 4.7 against FlashHomework's 4.2. Course Hero also leads on ratings volume (65K vs 16) and chart position (#85 vs unranked). FlashHomework's advantage is review sentiment (50% vs 28%) and update cadence (every 4 days vs fortnightly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Course Hero sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month and FlashHomework sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Course Hero holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Course Hero has 65K ratings behind it against 16, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 28% of Course Hero's written reviews are positive against 50% of FlashHomework's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Course Hero ships an update fortnightly, FlashHomework every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and June 5, 2026 respectively.
