Our take
Pick MeasureUp if you want the official partner badge and the hotspot and case-study item types. Pick ScenarioCert if you want realistic scenario questions with deeper explanations for a quarter of the price, and you are comfortable practising those other item types in Microsoft's free practice assessment.
