Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: MCQS at none against MedMasters's shown. MCQS also leads on review sentiment (50% vs 26%) and iOS requirement (13.4 vs 15.0). MedMasters's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 weeks) and ratings volume (729 vs 5). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MCQS sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $8.99 per month and MedMasters sells 21 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
