Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Interactive Exam at 5.0 against Kaplan MCAT's 4.2. Interactive Exam also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 4 months). Kaplan MCAT's advantage is ratings volume (244 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 26.2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
