Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: RacePrep at 5.0 against The Cushion's 3.6. RacePrep also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 73%) and update cadence (monthly vs every 2 months). The Cushion's advantage is ratings volume (25 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. The Cushion sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $37.99 per month and RacePrep sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
RacePrep holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: The Cushion has 25 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 73% of The Cushion's written reviews are positive against 100% of RacePrep's.
The Cushion ships an update every 2 months, RacePrep monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
