ESMO Interactive Guidelines holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.1.

Written reviews complicate that: 80% of ESMO Interactive Guidelines's written reviews are positive against 86% of BM Counter's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
ESMO Interactive Guidelines ships an update every 6 months, BM Counter every 72 months. The most recent releases landed on September 11, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
