Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Tooling U holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 1.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tooling U has 235 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 18% of Tooling U's written reviews are positive against 43% of Monroe CC's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Tooling U ships an update fortnightly, Monroe CC every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
