Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: MemberAssist at 3.3 against Premera's 1.9. MemberAssist also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.1). Premera's advantage is ratings volume (406 vs 3) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

MemberAssist holds the better App Store score, 3.3 against 1.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Premera has 406 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of MemberAssist's written reviews are positive against 9% of Premera's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

MemberAssist ships an update monthly, Premera every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and November 1, 2026 respectively.
