1 & Done Exam Prep is a fixed-term, judgment-first MFT licensure exam program built around daily text-message practice. Pocket Prep is a subscription quiz app with a 1,500-question AMFTRB bank and native mobile apps. Both are legitimate, independent study tools — this page lays out where each is stronger so you can choose on facts, not ads.

What we will not claim: that either product guarantees a pass. Neither does. Pocket Prep offers extended access; 1 & Done offers retake-fee reimbursement on qualifying plans.
No. 1 & Done Exam Prep is an independent exam-preparation resource and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or approved by Pocket Prep, AMFTRB, or any licensing board. Pocket Prep is a trademark of Pocket Prep, Inc., which is likewise independent of AMFTRB.
Pocket Prep lists 1,500 AMFTRB MFT questions across six subjects. 1 & Done runs a smaller, clinically reviewed bank where every answer choice carries a written rationale and content ships in reviewed releases. If you want maximum volume, Pocket Prep is larger; if you want per-choice judgment coaching, that is 1 & Done's focus.
Pocket Prep's Pass Guarantee provides three additional months of Premium access free if you do not pass. 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.
Pocket Prep's entry price is lower: $20.99 billed monthly, $49.99 every three months, or $124.99 billed annually for its behavioral health bundle, with a limited free tier. 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; Pocket Prep subscriptions renew until canceled.
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. Pocket Prep offers native iOS and Android apps with offline study.
Yes, and some candidates do: Pocket Prep's large bank for volume drilling, 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.
