We make Radtechprepper, an ARRT® Radiography exam prep app, so read this as the maker’s comparison. We read RadReview’s home, features, help, sign-up and terms of use pages on November 1, 2026. We did not buy a RadReview subscription or open its free trial, so we compare what it states and don’t grade its questions. Every RadReview fact below is as of November 1, 2026. Prices change, so check before you buy.
Short answer: RadReview’s question bank is cheaper for about 90 days. Radtechprepper has more questions and includes written chapters, flashcards and formulas on every paid plan. Both let you try before you pay: RadReview’s help page describes a free trial with a limited question set, and our free tier has 3 chapters, 50 questions and 1 full mock. You can’t buy our paid plans yet. They open soon: Annual at $199 a year, which renews until you cancel and works out to about $16.58 a month, the 90-Day Pass at $99 once, which never renews, and Monthly at $39 (renews monthly until you cancel).

What is RadReview?
As of November 1, 2026, RadReview is a McGraw Hill subscription with two tiers.
- Question Bank: $42 for 1 month, $78 for 4 months or $102 for 6 months.
- Course: $78, $114 or $138 for the same lengths. It adds a digital version of D.A. Saia’s Radiography PREP in a modular format.
It lists 1,800+ registry-style questions, a 200-question timed mock, customizable practice exams, performance reports and an app for iOS and Android. It advertises “detailed explanations, reinforcing the correct and incorrect answer choices.”
A correction. Earlier versions of this page described RadReview as a Lange Q&A book plus a time-limited access code and said it cost more. Those claims don’t match RadReview’s current site, so we removed them. As of November 1, 2026, the site sells subscriptions and doesn’t list a book or access code as a requirement. Those versions also called the book and code non-refundable, and a later version said the site states no refund policy and mentions no free trial. That later version was wrong on both. Its terms of use say “Fees and charges are non-refundable,” and its help page describes a free trial with a limited question set. If the refund terms matter to you, ask McGraw Hill before you buy.
What is Radtechprepper?
Radtechprepper is ARRT Radiography registry prep that runs in your phone’s browser. Everything sits in one login:
- 28 written chapters with 570+ study slides
- 2,500+ questions, and every question has a written rationale
- 1,500+ flashcards
- 35 formulas with 19 drill problems
- 126 positioning projections, 125 with labelled diagrams
- Full-length, timed 200-question mocks
Is RadReview cheaper than Radtechprepper?
Often, yes. As of November 1, 2026:
- About 90 days: RadReview’s bank is $78 for 4 months. Our 90-Day Pass is $99 for 90 days. RadReview costs $21 less and runs longer.
- Six months: RadReview is $102 for the bank or $138 for the course. Our nearest option is Annual at $199, or six months of Monthly at $234. RadReview is cheaper.
- One month: our Monthly is $39 and renews monthly until you cancel. That’s $3 less than RadReview’s $42 bank and $39 less than its $78 course.
- Closest match: RadReview’s closest match to our plan is its 4-month Course at $114. Our 90-Day Pass is $15 less to pay, though the Course costs less per month and runs a month longer.
- Over six months: RadReview lists no annual plan. Our Annual is $199 a year and renews until you cancel, about $16.58 a month.
If all you want is the lower price of these two for a question bank over 90 days, RadReview’s bank wins that. Pocket Prep costs less than both, with fewer questions. Our answer is what the $99 includes: more questions than RadReview lists, written chapters, flashcards and formulas. See all three plans on the pricing page. Paid plans include a pass guarantee, with conditions, and a 30-day refund on your first Monthly or Annual purchase. That policy doesn’t list the 90-Day Pass.
Which has more study content?
Radtechprepper lists more. As of November 1, 2026, RadReview lists 1,800+ exam-style questions and we have 2,500+: 2,584 today, and from March 1, 2027, generated mocks draw from 2,504 while category drills keep all 2,584. See how we write them on our practice questions page.
Each company's own stated figure, as of November 1, 2026. Prepry states 1,550+ on its website and 2,085+ on its App Store listing, so both are shown. We make Radtechprepper.
On lessons, RadReview’s Course tier has a digital book and ours are on every paid plan. Its site doesn’t list flashcards or formulas as included, though McGraw Hill sells a separate Radiography Review Flashcards product. Ours are included. We won’t claim our questions are better than RadReview’s, because we haven’t used a paid account. We can say this: RadReview advertises explanations that cover correct and incorrect choices. Every Radtechprepper question has a written rationale, and that rationale isn’t always written option by option.

Which works better on a phone?
It depends on what you do on the phone. As of November 1, 2026, RadReview has an iOS and Android app, and we have none. RadReview’s site says its app is primarily designed for practice and review, and that the Course’s Learning Center isn’t available in it and is accessible only through the web version. Its features page says you can access RadReview from a computer, tablet or smartphone. We didn’t test how the web version reads on a phone.
Our chapters, questions, flashcards and formulas all open in your phone’s browser, with nothing to install. If you want a store app for drilling, RadReview has one. If you want to read lessons on your phone during a clinical break, ours does that in the browser, and RadReview’s Course lessons mean using its web version.
How does the March 1, 2027 change affect this choice?
If you test on or after March 1, 2027, the ARRT outline changes. Procedures rises from 66 to 72 scored questions, Safety falls from 50 to 46 and Patient Care from 33 to 31. Clavicle moves to Thorax, bone age moves into Upper Extremities, and IVU comes off the GU studies, while retrograde urography stays. See every change by section, and our Procedures guide for the largest section.
That chart comes from our Urinary chapter, one of the three free ones.
As of November 1, 2026, RadReview’s site refers to the “latest” ARRT blueprint without a date and doesn’t mention March 2027. That doesn’t prove its bank isn’t ready, so ask. Our app already holds both outlines. Our 60-day plan to pass the ARRT covers the timing.
The passing standard also changes that day. It was set at 130 of 200 items on the study form, against about 129 at the current standard, so it moves about one raw point on that form. The raw number varies by form, so don’t aim at exactly 130.
Should you choose RadReview or Radtechprepper?
RadReview fits if you want a lower price than ours for a question bank over 4 to 6 months, you want a store app, you want to buy today, or a named author and the McGraw Hill name matter most to you.
Radtechprepper fits if you want more questions, chapters and flashcards on one plan, a 90-day payment that never renews, and the chance to study a free chapter on the Skull before you pay anything.
Compare the wider field in our ranking of 7 ARRT prep platforms.
Paid Radtechprepper lists chapters, questions, flashcards, formulas and timed mocks in one login, so you wouldn’t need a second platform for any of those. We can’t show that’s enough to pass, because we have no outcome data yet. Its paid plans open soon, so start free today.
