# Prep vs MHDC

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: MHDC at none against Prep's 73. MHDC also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Prep's advantage is ratings volume (121 vs 1). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Prep sells 73 one-off in-app purchases. MHDC asks for nothing beyond the download.

MHDC holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Prep has 121 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Prep ships an update every 5 days, MHDC daily. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and October 6, 2026 respectively.
