# ProDex vs MHR Guide

The clearest difference is ratings volume: ProDex at 4.9K against MHR Guide's 277. MHR Guide's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.6) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 17.0). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ProDex sells 19 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and MHR Guide sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

MHR Guide holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ProDex has 4.9K ratings behind it against 277, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 88% of ProDex's written reviews are positive against 82% of MHR Guide's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
