Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Boldmethod at Free against Multiengine Rating Checkride's $9.99. Boldmethod also leads on rating (4.9 vs 2.8) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 25 months). Multiengine Rating Checkride's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 9) and ads (none vs shown). On review sentiment and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Boldmethod is free to download; Multiengine Rating Checkride costs $9.99 up front. Boldmethod sells 9 one-off in-app purchases. Multiengine Rating Checkride asks for nothing beyond the download.
Boldmethod holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Boldmethod has 823 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Multiengine Rating Checkride's written reviews are positive against 97% of Boldmethod's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Multiengine Rating Checkride ships an update every 25 months, Boldmethod every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 5, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
