# CDL Study vs CDL Quick Prep

The clearest difference is ads: CDL Study at none against CDL Quick Prep's shown. CDL Study also leads on ratings volume (2K vs 1). CDL Quick Prep's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. CDL Study sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per month and CDL Quick Prep sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $29.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

CDL Quick Prep holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CDL Study has 2K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
