Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Mechanical FE Prep at every 5 days against EE ToolKit's every 3 months. Mechanical FE Prep also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and review sentiment (100% vs 90%). EE ToolKit's advantage is ratings volume (1.4K vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
