# PMI vs PMI Official

PMI and PMI Official both sit at 5.0 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of PMI's written reviews are positive against 17% of PMI Official's. PMI also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 weeks). PMI Official's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and ratings volume (443 vs 1). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PMI sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days. PMI Official asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for PMI against 4.9 for PMI Official. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PMI Official has 443 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 100% of PMI's written reviews are positive against 17% of PMI Official's.

PMI ships an update every 2 weeks, PMI Official every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
