Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
PSTA Access holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PSTA Access has 72 ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 11% of AMBEST's written reviews are positive against 10% of PSTA Access's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
AMBEST ships an update every 4 months, PSTA Access every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 9, 2026 respectively.
