Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Flash Review at 100% against PANCE PREP's 21%. Flash Review also leads on rating (5.0 vs 2.5) and monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription). PANCE PREP's advantage is ratings volume (129 vs 11) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
