Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: SimpleStudy at none against Easy Study's shown. SimpleStudy also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). Easy Study's advantage is ratings volume (733 vs 71) and review sentiment (77% vs 68%). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Easy Study sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and SimpleStudy sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

SimpleStudy holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Easy Study has 733 ratings behind it against 71, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 77% of Easy Study's written reviews are positive against 68% of SimpleStudy's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Easy Study ships an update every 2 months, SimpleStudy every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
