Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
StudyDate holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: StudyDate has 88 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of respect effect's written reviews are positive against 96% of StudyDate's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on June 4, 2026 and June 10, 2026 respectively.
