Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Edmicro IELTS at none against Prep's shown. Edmicro IELTS also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.6) and review sentiment (100% vs 86%). Prep's advantage is ratings volume (124 vs 15). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Prep sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Edmicro IELTS sells 9 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Edmicro IELTS holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.6.
