# DMV vs DMV Permit Practice Test

The clearest difference is update cadence: DMV at every 3 days against DMV Permit Practice Test's monthly. DMV also leads on ratings volume (422 vs 16) and chart position (#110 vs unranked). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. DMV sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and DMV Permit Practice Test sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 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 DMV against 4.8 for DMV Permit Practice Test. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DMV has 422 ratings behind it against 16, so its average is the more settled of the two.

DMV ships an update every 3 days, DMV Permit Practice Test monthly. Both last shipped on October 25, 2026.
