# Personal Best vs PhysicalExam App

The clearest difference is monetization model: Personal Best at free with in-app purchases against PhysicalExam App's subscription. Personal Best also leads on ratings volume (15 vs 1). PhysicalExam App's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 2 months). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Personal Best sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and PhysicalExam App sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $19.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

PhysicalExam App holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Personal Best has 15 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.

Personal Best ships an update every 2 months, PhysicalExam App every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
