Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: JLPT Test at 4.5 against JLPT N5 Complete Prep's 3.5. JLPT Test also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume 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. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
JLPT Test holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 4 and 2 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of JLPT N5 Complete Prep's written reviews are positive against 71% of JLPT Test's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
JLPT N5 Complete Prep ships an update every 2 months, JLPT Test weekly. Both last shipped on November 1, 2026.
