Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: MedStudy at 4.8 against ACG Mobile's 4.6. MedStudy also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 3 months). ACG Mobile's advantage is review sentiment (36% vs 22%) and ratings volume (991 vs 199). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
MedStudy holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 991 and 199 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 36% of ACG Mobile's written reviews are positive against 22% of MedStudy's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
ACG Mobile ships an update every 3 months, MedStudy every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
