The clearest difference is price: VRflow A320 at Free against Studies's $4.99. Studies's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.0) and in-app purchases (none vs 1). On review sentiment, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Studies holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Studies has 384 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 62% of Studies's written reviews are positive against 67% of VRflow A320's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and September 11, 2026 respectively.
