Don't say you're good. Show the Score. ScaleUp gives your product judgment a number. Make the real product decisions that shaped the world's best products, see what the leaders did, and build a Score you can carry anywhere. Think of it as a CIBIL score for product judgment: earned only by your calls, private until you share it. EVERY DAY, A REAL DECISION A decision a company actually faced, the numbers on screen, the company hidden until the reveal. Make your call, then see what they did and what happened. 500+ decisions drawn from the histories of Netflix, Slack, Spotify, Airbnb, Duolingo and others, every one with a documented outcome, including the calls that went wrong. THE SCORE A number from 0 to 1,000 for your product judgment, across six areas: pricing, activation and retention, prioritisation, go-to-market, metrics and experiments, discovery and positioning. Your first eight decisions place you. Every one after that moves you, up or down. Nothing you can buy touches it. THE ARENA Compete with the product managers playing today. Duel another player on the same five cases. Play fifteen-second questions face to face, live. Enter contests with something at stake. Coins are earned by playing and spent in the Arena; they are never for sale and never cashed out. THE SEASON Every week is a race against players at your level; the top three take titles and coins. Tournament nights have a bracket, a final and one winner. Every season leaves a Score that stands. THE COACH Ask why the leader called it differently, argue your case, hear it out loud if you like. Say "Explain my answer" on any verdict. YOUR RECORD Every decision you called, every medal, where you are strong, where you lose most. Share the card when the number says what you want it to say. HELP AND REQUESTS Ask for help, report a problem, or request a feature. See what other players are asking for, and vote for what you want built next. THIS MORNING The day's real product moves, each read through the principle behind it. WHO IT IS FOR Product managers, founders, growth and marketing operators, and anyone preparing for a PM interview. WHAT YOU NEED A phone number to sign in. Eight decisions to get your Score. About ninety seconds a day. The first 100 accounts are free for life.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ScaleUp at none against PrepMonkey's 4. ScaleUp also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 days vs fortnightly). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
