Is medify better then medentry ??

Honestly either is fine. Depending on who you'll ask they'll give you different opinions. Most people have only tried the one and not the other (I've only tried Medify), but people with both have scored very well. I'd go for the cheaper option. OR try both for like a weekly payment, and after a week cancel the one you dislike

Is there enough on just one for studying that will last for the 2 months ish?
I don't get how there could be enough questions to keep you occupied for that long.

It depends how much you revise for it, but I don't think it's something that needs hundreds of hours.
I did about 2 weeks of 1.5hrs a day untimed, then like 3-4 weeks ish of 1.5hrs a day timed, and then for the last month a mock a day which was only 2 hrs. I knew that I'd burn out if I did intense revision for 6 weeks (minimum recommended).
I think most people miss out on reflecting - this is what boosted my scores. Like you could do twenty mocks but if you haven't realised that you always miss marks on a percentage question, you won't practice that and improve.
By the end of my practice I did maybe 25% max of all the questions they had in each subsection (off top of my head, one section on Medify had around 1500 questions, but these are question sets, so like one 'question' is actually 4 sub-questions). I probably did most of the mocks on there, and probably took break days more than I should.
From the top of my head a mock used to have about 260 questions (overall) in it (as AR is taken out this will ofc change) - I rarely did more than this amount of questions in a day.
Everyone will cope and revise for the UCAT differently, so you may find yourself wanting to try more questions than I would generally. UCAT is very much a timed based and focus exam, so you need your mind to be alert (hence my strategy of less hours a day over a longer period of time as not to burn out, and keep my mind awake). I don't think you'd end up using all the questions in this time period unless you somehow did an insane amount of hours on it (which if it works by all means do it), but even if so I guess you could then cancel your subscription on the one and start a new one with the other platform for a few weeks.
If you are only using PassMedicine I can imagine you running out of resources quickly.
In summary, I think you should be fine, UCAT is all about strategy and so more hours/questions doesn't neccessarily equate a better score.

i used both and personally preferred medify. at its core both platforms are the same (loads of qs, subset mocks, full mocks, tutorials, skills trainers, comparisons to other users). overall medentry seemed to take a bit more of a hand-held approach compared to medify, but no matter which one you get it shouldn’t make too much of a difference.
honestly i just liked the medify interface more than medentry, and i spotted a couple of mistakes in the medentry tutorials. medentry has more skills trainers, and i’m addicted to anything when it’s gamified so i found myself spending hours playing with those. medify only had two skills trainers but the calculator one (also on medentry btw) was life saving, i really recommend you try it out for a bit at least so you get used to typing quickly with the numberpad.
don’t get a book it’s not worth it. i would also however suggest watching youtube videos to help get to grips with each ucat subsection - my friends loved emil eddy but there’s loads of other channels out there too. good luck with your preparation!

Hi, thanks for sharing your Medify experience. I noticed they operate by direct debit subscription, was it easy to cancel once you didn't need it anymore?
