Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Ferri's Best Test at free with in-app purchases against ICD 10 Coding Guide's subscription. Ferri's Best Test also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.4) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). ICD 10 Coding Guide's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (167 vs 26). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. ICD 10 Coding Guide sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $9.99 per year and Ferri's Best Test sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Ferri's Best Test holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ICD 10 Coding Guide has 167 ratings behind it against 26, so its average is the more settled of the two.
ICD 10 Coding Guide ships an update every 11 months, Ferri's Best Test every 6 months. Both last shipped on November 2, 2026.
