IAEE and PCMA+ both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 57% of PCMA+'s written reviews are positive against 25% of IAEE's. PCMA+ also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 weeks) and ratings volume (225 vs 31). IAEE's advantage is monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases).
