# Peak vs Exam Arena

The clearest difference is ads: Exam Arena at none against Peak's shown. Peak's advantage is review sentiment (64% vs 30%) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Peak sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Exam Arena sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $8.90 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Peak ships an update fortnightly, Exam Arena every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
