# USCIS vs Citizenship Coach

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Citizenship Coach at 100% against USCIS's 55%. Citizenship Coach also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.0). USCIS's advantage is ratings volume (303 vs 3) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Citizenship Coach holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: USCIS has 303 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 55% of USCIS's written reviews are positive against 100% of Citizenship Coach's.
