Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Oncourse AI at 4.8 against PGPrep MD's 4.2. Oncourse AI also leads on review sentiment (97% vs 58%) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 2 months). PGPrep MD's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
