Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Ready at 67% against DLL Practise's 0%. Ready also leads on ratings volume (8 vs 1).

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. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
DLL Practise holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ready has 8 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of DLL Practise's written reviews are positive against 67% of Ready's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
DLL Practise ships an update fortnightly, Ready every 17 months. The most recent releases landed on October 10, 2026 and October 1, 2026 respectively.
