# ACT Math vs PerfectPrep

The clearest difference is ads: ACT Math at none against PerfectPrep's shown. ACT Math also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 67%) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). PerfectPrep's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 11 months) and ratings volume (883 vs 18). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ACT Math sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and PerfectPrep sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for ACT Math against 4.6 for PerfectPrep. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PerfectPrep has 883 ratings behind it against 18, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 100% of ACT Math's written reviews are positive against 67% of PerfectPrep's.

ACT Math ships an update every 11 months, PerfectPrep fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on July 29, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
