# Course Hero vs Physics Solver

Course Hero and Physics Solver both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Physics Solver's written reviews are positive against 28% of Course Hero's. Physics Solver also leads on iOS requirement (14.0.0 vs 17.0). Course Hero's advantage is ratings volume (65K vs 36) and chart position (#104 vs unranked). On price, rating, ads 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 Physics Solver sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 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 4.7 for Physics Solver. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Course Hero has 65K ratings behind it against 36, 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 100% of Physics Solver's.
