# Law Nerd vs 2nd try

The clearest difference is monetization model: Law Nerd at free with in-app purchases against 2nd try's subscription. Law Nerd also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months). 2nd try's advantage is review sentiment (99% vs 82%) and ratings volume (7.1K vs 312). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Law Nerd sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and 2nd try sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

2nd try holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 2nd try has 7.1K ratings behind it against 312, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 82% of Law Nerd's written reviews are positive against 99% of 2nd try's.

Law Nerd ships an update weekly, 2nd try every 2 months. Both last shipped on September 25, 2026.
