Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: SmartCare by Cigna at 4.0 against TruDoc's 3.2. TruDoc's advantage is review sentiment (27% vs 14%) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

SmartCare by Cigna holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.2. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 26 and 31 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 27% of TruDoc's written reviews are positive against 14% of SmartCare by Cigna's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

TruDoc ships an update every 10 days, SmartCare by Cigna every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
