# Study.com vs CBEST Practice Test Prep

The clearest difference is rating: Study.com at 4.2 against CBEST Practice Test Prep's 2.0. Study.com also leads on ratings volume (3.7K vs 2). CBEST Practice Test Prep's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 14.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Study.com sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and CBEST Practice Test Prep sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Study.com holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Study.com has 3.7K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
