# Course Hero vs Goth AI

The clearest difference is ads: Course Hero at none against Goth AI's shown. Course Hero also leads on ratings volume (65K vs 1.2K) and chart position (#110 vs unranked). Goth AI's advantage is review sentiment (41% vs 28%) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Course Hero sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month and Goth AI sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Course Hero against 4.6 for Goth AI. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Course Hero has 65K ratings behind it against 1.2K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 28% of Course Hero's written reviews are positive against 41% of Goth AI's.

Course Hero ships an update fortnightly, Goth AI monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
