Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: PLAB2App at 100% against Quesmed's 42%. PLAB2App also leads on iOS requirement (12.1 vs 15.1). Quesmed's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
