The Core IAS

We at Core IAS believe that our purpose is to provoke thinking not to provide instructions. With years of experience into civil services preparation, we believe that bookish knowledge is available to all and is not enough to crack any exam. What is required is an inquisitive thought process and hence we inspire the aspirants to think as much as they read. Teaching here is not superficial but it goes on to explaining the concepts to its Core. It is an amalgamation of conceptual clarity with multidimensional thinking and thats how we abide by our philosophy of "educating to the core".

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: The Core IAS at none against Mitras IAS's 1. The Core IAS also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 10 months). Mitras IAS's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.5). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
