Which one fits how you study?

Choose Mometrix if…

  • You learn best from structured video lessons and want a taught course, not just practice.
  • You want flashcards and study-guide style review alongside questions.
  • You prefer a low-commitment monthly subscription you can cancel anytime.
  • You may prep for a different exam later — Mometrix covers hundreds of tests.

Choose 1 & Done if…

  • You keep narrowing questions to two plausible answers and losing points on judgment, not knowledge — our rationales coach the FIRST / NEXT / BEST decision the exam rewards.
  • You want a daily study habit that arrives by text message instead of requiring you to open an app.
  • You want to rehearse branching clinical cases where each decision changes what happens next.
  • You want a fixed term that never auto-renews — and, on pay-in-full Jog or Marathon, reimbursement toward a verified retake fee instead of more access time.

Pricing, plainly

Comparison FAQ

Is 1 & Done affiliated with Mometrix or AMFTRB?

No. 1 & Done Exam Prep is an independent exam-preparation resource and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or approved by Mometrix, AMFTRB, or any licensing board. Mometrix is a trademark of Mometrix Media LLC, which is likewise independent of AMFTRB.

Which has more MFT practice questions?

Mometrix's MFT course lists 540 practice questions alongside 50+ lessons and 210+ flashcards. 1 & Done runs a smaller, clinically reviewed bank where every answer choice carries a written rationale and content ships in reviewed releases. Mometrix adds lesson-based teaching; 1 & Done focuses on per-choice judgment coaching.

How do the guarantees differ?

Mometrix offers a 7-day money-back guarantee on new purchases. 1 & Done keeps the study term fixed and, on pay-in-full Jog or Marathon purchases, reimburses the lesser of 50% (up to $350) or 100% (up to $650) of one verified retake registration fee under the accepted terms. Neither is a promise that you will pass.

Which is cheaper?

Mometrix costs $79.99 per month on a cancel-anytime subscription. 1 & Done is a fixed-term program: $250 for one month, $379 for three months, $899 for six months (or $150 per month for six months), and $1,299 for twelve months (or $110 per month for twelve months), with a limited $249 six-month Founding Membership. 1 & Done plans never auto-renew; a Mometrix subscription renews until you cancel.

Does 1 & Done have a mobile app?

Not yet. Native 1 & Done apps for iOS and Android are in development. Today the product is web-based and delivers its daily practice questions by text message, so there is nothing to download. The Mometrix MFT course is also web-based.

Can I use both?

Yes, and some candidates do: Mometrix for lesson-based content review and flashcards, and 1 & Done's daily text for rehearsing the first-next-best judgment the exam rewards. The free 1 & Done preview is the fastest way to feel the difference.
