Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Ph.DMV Permit Practice Tests at 76% against DriverEdToGo Driver Education's 32%. Ph.DMV Permit Practice Tests also leads on iOS requirement (12.4 vs 15.1). DriverEdToGo Driver Education's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (1.5K vs 49). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases 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. Ph.DMV Permit Practice Tests sells 9 one-off in-app purchases and DriverEdToGo Driver Education sells 9 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
DriverEdToGo Driver Education holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DriverEdToGo Driver Education has 1.5K ratings behind it against 49, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 76% of Ph.DMV Permit Practice Tests's written reviews are positive against 32% of DriverEdToGo Driver Education's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Ph.DMV Permit Practice Tests ships an update every 2 weeks, DriverEdToGo Driver Education every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 11, 2026 respectively.
