# GovPass vs US Citizenship Test

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: GovPass at none against US Citizenship Test's 5. GovPass also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). US Citizenship Test's advantage is ratings volume (282 vs 10). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. US Citizenship Test sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. GovPass asks for nothing beyond the download.

GovPass holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: US Citizenship Test has 282 ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.

GovPass ships an update every 3 months, US Citizenship Test every 7 months. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 8, 2026 respectively.
