# ProDex vs ChampDex

The clearest difference is ads: ChampDex at none against ProDex's shown. ChampDex also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6). ProDex's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (5K vs 4). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ProDex sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and ChampDex sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ChampDex holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ProDex has 5K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two.

ProDex ships an update every 4 days, ChampDex every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 8, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
