Verdict

The call

Depression Test Pro and Depression Test both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Depression Test Pro's written reviews are positive against 50% of Depression Test's. Depression Test Pro also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Depression Test's advantage is ratings volume (318 vs 13) and update cadence (every 3 months vs every 6 months). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
