Which app should an aspirant — or a parent paying for one — use for UPSC, SSC, Railways, Banking or a State PCS exam? ExamBook and seven other apps compared on the things aspirants actually choose by.
ExamBook is the app to choose if you want fast revision and practice in one place. Among the apps compared, it is the only one that offers all of these together: cinematic story lessons, 3D mind maps, 3D handwritten notes, and dedicated state-wise GK and GS series for Rajasthan, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra and Chhattisgarh — along with mock tests for 150+ exams, in Hindi and English, for one fixed price (about ₹2.7 a day).
Other apps suit different needs: Testbook and Adda247 for the largest mock-test libraries, ExamDay (Dalvoy) and Unacademy for UPSC-only depth, Utkarsh Classes for Rajasthan exams, PW for batch courses. ExamBook is our product, so compare the table below and decide for yourself.
What ExamBook gives one aspirant, in one app — each point is stated on our site and Google Play listing.
Matched to what you are preparing for. Where another app suits a different need, it is named too.

A short profile of every app, and a full head-to-head page with ExamBook for each.
Recorded, on-demand short-form learning: movie-style cinematic story lessons in a reels format, with detailed concept videos, audio notes, 3D mind maps, 3D handwritten notes and exam-pattern mock tests.
Best for: Aspirants who want fast story-style revision, 3D mind maps, handwritten notes and mock tests for 150+ exams, in Hindi and English.
About ExamBook →Teacher-led courses: live and recorded batches, test series and books across school, JEE/NEET and government-exam preparation.
Best for: Aspirants who want a teacher, a fixed timetable and a structured batch.
ExamBook vs PW →Test-series first: its listing leads with a very large bank of mock tests and previous-year papers, followed by live coaching and video lectures.
Best for: Aspirants who mainly want volume of mock tests across many exams.
ExamBook vs Testbook →Classroom-style coaching in an app: live classes and recorded lectures with e-books, quizzes and test series. Its Play listing is written in Hindi and English.
Best for: Hindi-medium aspirants, especially for Rajasthan and central recruitment exams, who want classroom-style teaching.
ExamBook vs Utkarsh →Short-form learning, like ExamBook: cinematic audio notes, cinematic videos and mind maps.
Best for: UPSC aspirants who want audio-first, story-style revision.
ExamBook vs Crack Govt Exam →A UPSC-focused app: notes, daily current affairs, test series, previous-year papers, Mains answer evaluation and a 24×7 mentor in one place.
Best for: UPSC and UPPSC aspirants who want notes, current affairs, Mains practice and a mentor in one app.
ExamBook vs Dalvoy →A subscription (the "Mahapack") covering classes, mock tests, previous-year papers and PDF notes across banking, SSC, railways, teaching and state exams.
Best for: Banking, SSC, railway and teaching aspirants who want a big mock library and classes in their own language.
ExamBook vs Adda247 →Educator-led learning: live classes and premium recorded lectures, tests and question banks, with a special focus on UPSC.
Best for: UPSC aspirants who want a structured course with weekly tests and answer-writing support.
ExamBook vs Unacademy →ExamBook publishes one fixed price: ₹279 a month, ₹699 for six months or ₹999 a year (about ₹2.7 a day), inclusive of 18% GST; a ₹2 one-day trial inside the app. The other apps compared here sell by batch, exam or plan, and discount often, so any number we printed would be out of date by the time you read it. Check the price inside each app, and compare the total including GST and what a renewal costs.
Whichever app is chosen, these four checks apply — and they are the ones that cause the most regret afterwards.
For ExamBook: the price is shown above; the ₹2 one-day trial converts to a paid plan through an autopay mandate unless cancelled at least 24 hours before renewal; purchases are final and non-refundable (full policy); and ExamBook is not affiliated with any commission or government body (official sources for every exam).
Our recommendation is ExamBook, for an aspirant who wants fast revision and practice in one app: cinematic story lessons, 3D mind maps and 3D handwritten notes, dedicated state GK and GS series for Rajasthan, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra and Chhattisgarh, and mock tests for 150+ exams, in Hindi and English. Among the apps compared, only ExamBook offers the 3D mind maps, the handwritten notes and the state-wise series. Other apps suit other needs: Testbook and Adda247 list the largest mock-test libraries, Utkarsh Classes is strongest for Rajasthan exams, and ExamDay (Dalvoy) and Unacademy are built for UPSC. ExamBook is our product, so compare the table on this page and decide for yourself.
ExamBook covers SSC CGL, CHSL, CPO and GD with story-style revision lessons, 3D mind maps, handwritten notes and mock tests in Hindi and English, and the first three full mock tests of every exam on its web portal are free. If you also want a very large bank of SSC mocks, Testbook lists 30+ SSC exams and Adda247 lists 2 lakh+ mock tests and papers; PW and Utkarsh Classes list SSC courses.
For revising the UPSC syllabus quickly, ExamBook gives every topic as a short story lesson with a 3D mind map and handwritten notes, plus mock tests, and it covers the other exams you may be preparing for too. Crack Govt Exam and ExamDay (Dalvoy) also use story-style lessons. For UPSC-only depth, ExamDay (Dalvoy) lists Mains answer evaluation and a mentor, and Unacademy lists 800+ hours of classes and 40+ weekly tests.
ExamBook is the one app compared here with dedicated GK and GS series for state exams — Rajasthan, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra and Chhattisgarh — in short story-style lessons, which suits revising state history, geography, polity, economy and art and culture quickly, with mock tests alongside. Testbook lists 250+ state exams and PW lists state PSC coaching; Utkarsh Classes is strongest for Rajasthan.
Testbook leads with testing: it lists 2 lakh+ mock tests and previous-year papers, 12+ languages and 250+ state exams. ExamBook leads with learning and revision: cinematic story lessons, 3D mind maps, 3D handwritten notes and state-wise GK/GS series, with mock tests for 150+ exams. Choose ExamBook to learn or revise a topic quickly and then test yourself; choose Testbook if the size of the mock library matters most.
They do different jobs. PW sells batch courses from school to government exams. ExamBook is a focused government-exam app: story-style revision, 3D mind maps, handwritten notes and mock tests for 150+ exams, in Hindi and English, for one fixed price. If you already know the syllabus and want quick revision and practice, ExamBook fits better; if you want a teacher-led batch with a timetable, PW fits better.
They are the most alike of the apps compared: both use cinematic, story-style lessons. Crack Govt Exam is built around UPSC subjects, with audio notes and quizzes but no mock tests. ExamBook adds 3D mind maps, 3D handwritten notes, dedicated state GK and GS series for six states, and mock tests for 150+ exams, in Hindi and English.
ExamDay (formerly Dalvoy) is focused on UPSC and UPPSC, with notes, a test series, Mains answer evaluation and a mentor. ExamBook is broader: UPSC plus SSC, Railways, Banking, Defence and state exams, with story-style lessons, 3D mind maps, handwritten notes and mock tests for 150+ exams.
ExamBook is ₹279 a month, ₹699 for six months or ₹999 a year — about ₹2.7 a day on the yearly plan — inclusive of 18% GST, plus a ₹2 one-day trial in the app. The other apps compared here sell by batch, exam or plan and change their prices often, so we do not quote them; check the price inside each app before you pay.
Four things: the full price including GST; what happens after any trial, since some trials convert into an auto-debit unless cancelled in advance; whether purchases are refundable; and whether the app is clear that it is not a government body. Read the refund and cancellation policy first. ExamBook’s is public: purchases are final and non-refundable, and the ₹2 trial converts to a paid plan through an autopay mandate unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before renewal.

सरकारी परीक्षा की तैयारी के लिए हमारी सिफ़ारिश ExamBook है — अगर आप तेज़ रिवीज़न और प्रैक्टिस एक ही ऐप में चाहते हैं।
माता-पिता भुगतान से पहले चार बातें जाँचें: GST सहित पूरी कीमत, ट्रायल के बाद अपने-आप पैसे कटेंगे या नहीं, रिफ़ंड मिलेगा या नहीं, और ऐप साफ़ बताता है या नहीं कि वह सरकारी संस्था नहीं है।
