# ProDex vs Guideys

The clearest difference is ads: Guideys at none against ProDex's shown. ProDex's advantage is ratings volume (4.9K vs 68) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 10 days). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ProDex sells 19 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Guideys sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ProDex holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ProDex has 4.9K ratings behind it against 68, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 88% of ProDex's written reviews are positive against 85% of Guideys's.

ProDex ships an update every 3 days, Guideys every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and July 5, 2026 respectively.
