myHomework Student Planner vs MyStudyLife

myHomework Student Planner is a digital planner for tracking assignments, projects, tests, classes and due dates. It supports time-based, period-based and block-based class schedules, and its iPhone app displays classes and assignments in month, week and day calendar views. Students can join a Teachers.io class to download its syllabus, schedule, attachments and announcements. Homework can also be imported from Canvas, D2L, Google Classroom, Blackboard, Schoology and other systems; a premium account can automatically update the planner with new assignments after import. Premium users can share homework with a classmate or invite a coach to view the planner. The company says its apps can be used as planners without a network connection. The free Basic plan includes tracking, reminders, device sync and upcoming homework widgets, with ads. Premium costs $4.99/yr and adds features including file attachments, external calendar access, sharing and homework import. The planner is available on web, Windows, macOS, iOS, Android and as a browser extension.

MyStudyLife is a student planner for classes, tasks, exams and extracurricular activities, with syncing across Android, iOS and the web. Timetables can use rotating, block, A/B or custom schedules and include term dates and holidays. Homework and revision tasks support seven types, due dates, reminders, auto-repeat and partial completion. Students can record grades, use a Pomodoro focus timer and check exam countdowns. Scout, the AI coach, can answer questions about a student's schedule and build weekly or exam revision plans using classes and deadlines. Listed calendar connections include Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, Outlook, iCal feeds, Blackboard and Canvas. The app supports offline use, but data must sync before a device is lost to retrieve it elsewhere. The free plan includes the planner and an initial AI timetable scan, but caps homework and revision tasks at five at a time. MSL+ costs $6.99 per month and removes that limit; a seven-day trial is listed. The service says it does not sell user information or show ads, and users can export or delete their data.
