Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: MPDA at 40% against Excellence Driving's 20%. MPDA also leads on iOS requirement (10.0 vs 13.0). Excellence Driving's advantage is rating (4.2 vs 4.0). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Excellence Driving holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 4.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 14 and 5 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 40% of MPDA's written reviews are positive against 20% of Excellence Driving's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
MPDA ships an update monthly, Excellence Driving every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 18, 2026 and September 2, 2026 respectively.
