Using each one day to day
Students who have used both tell us Breeze Ed is easier to navigate and gets them to what they need faster.
One account for everything. Breeze Ed's questions, practice exams, flashcards, clinical guides, OSCE cases and AI tutor share one account and one login. Smarty PANCE's question bank lives on a separate exam site with its own login, and tracks progress apart from its lessons.[3,4]
Analytics down to the condition. Breeze Ed breaks your results down by specialty, topic and condition, and builds a practice session from the conditions you check.[5] Smarty PANCE's help pages describe its analytics by organ system.[6]
An iPhone app in the App Store. Breeze Ed's iPhone app installs from the App Store.[2] Smarty PANCE's question bank is a web app you add to your home screen.[7]

Where Breeze Ed fits
Smarty PANCE costs less, and it lists more PANCE practice exams: a timed Virtual PANCE in five blocks, like the real exam, and five 225-question exams.[1,15] Breeze Ed's plan adds a didactic-level bank alongside the PANCE-level one, two practice exams for each of the seven rotations, and End of Didactic and End of Curriculum practice exams.[2,8]
Annual plans add an OSCE simulator with 29 PA cases you run by voice, each scored with feedback, three case credits a year, and an AI tutor you can talk to or type to, built into the platform.[9,10] 800+ clinical guides and 5,000+ flashcards with Anki mode come with every plan.[11,12] The 7-day free trial needs no card, so you can judge it yourself.
