# Study! vs MyTextMate

The clearest difference is review sentiment: MyTextMate at 100% against Study!'s 60%. MyTextMate also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Study!'s advantage is ratings volume (279 vs 5) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Study! sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and MyTextMate sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.00 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

MyTextMate holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Study! has 279 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 60% of Study!'s written reviews are positive against 100% of MyTextMate's.

Study! ships an update every 7 months, MyTextMate every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on August 31, 2026 and June 8, 2026 respectively.
