Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: BJACE at none against Milady Exam Prep's 11. BJACE also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). Milady Exam Prep's advantage is ratings volume (1.5K vs 2). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Milady Exam Prep sells 9 one-off in-app purchases. BJACE asks for nothing beyond the download.
BJACE holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Milady Exam Prep has 1.5K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
BJACE ships an update every 2 months, Milady Exam Prep every 4 months. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
