# IMAP Educare vs Prep

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Prep at 86% against IMAP Educare's 0%. Prep also leads on rating (4.6 vs 2.3) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 weeks). IMAP Educare's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 64) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Prep sells 64 one-off in-app purchases. IMAP Educare asks for nothing beyond the download.

Prep holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Prep has 120 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 0% of IMAP Educare's written reviews are positive against 86% of Prep's.

IMAP Educare ships an update every 3 weeks, Prep every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on June 8, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
