This guideline has been developed by and for doctors involved in the treatment of psoriasis. The recommendations for the different treatment options are rated according to their strength.

Recommendations are also made for groups of patients who require special consideration when receiving psoriasis treatment, such as those with a history of malingnacy, HIV infection or impaired liver or kidney function. The guideline has originally been published in the Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology (JEADV) by Nast A, et al.

The clearest difference is update cadence: EDF at every 7 months against Clinical Guidelines's every 38 months. EDF also leads on iOS requirement (9.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
