# Prep vs myU

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: myU at none against Prep's 77. myU also leads on ads (none vs shown). Prep's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Prep sells 77 one-off in-app purchases. myU asks for nothing beyond the download.

Prep ships an update every 5 days, myU every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 30, 2026.
