At MyStudyLife, our mission has always been simple: to make high-quality educational tools accessible to every student — no matter their background, device, or budget. Since our earliest days, we've offered MyStudyLife completely free, with no hidden costs and no intrusive barriers. But as our user base has grown into the millions, so too has the cost of keeping everything running smoothly.
That’s why we’ve made the difficult — but necessary — decision to introduce ads in the app for free users.
We didn’t make this decision lightly. In fact, we spent months evaluating every possible alternative, because we care deeply about keeping MyStudyLife as useful, distraction-free, and accessible as possible.
Behind the scenes, MyStudyLife requires a lot to function: server infrastructure, security maintenance, design and development time, bug fixes, and ongoing updates across platforms. All of this is necessary to deliver a tool you can rely on day in, day out — and we’re proud that we’ve done it ad-free for so long.
But in order to keep improving the app and offering new features — without locking them all behind a paywall — we needed to find a sustainable way to support ongoing development.
Advertising provides that sustainability.
When we decided to bring ads into MyStudyLife, we knew they had to align with the experience you’ve come to expect from us. We’re taking a measured approach that allows us to support the platform without compromising its core purpose — helping you stay organized and in control of your academic life.
We’ll continue monitoring how ads perform and how users respond, and we’ll use that feedback to make ongoing adjustments. Your experience still comes first.
If you prefer to use MyStudyLife without ads, our premium subscription removes them entirely and unlocks additional features for power users — all while helping support the app’s future.
We believe core academic tools shouldn’t be locked away behind subscriptions. That’s why MyStudyLife will always have a generous free version — one that helps you manage your schedule, stay on top of assignments, and feel more in control of your school life.
Advertising is a way for us to keep that promise. It allows us to keep offering a great, free version of the app to anyone who needs it — while ensuring we can continue to grow, improve, and support students around the world.
Whether you’ve just joined MyStudyLife or have been using it for years, we want to say thank you. Your trust and feedback have shaped every part of this app — and they continue to guide what we build next.
We’re excited about what’s coming, and we hope you’ll stick with us for the journey.
If you have any questions, feedback, or concerns, we’re listening. Just reach out to us at care@mystudylife.com.
