# Docket® vs NHS App

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Docket® at 74% against NHS App's 21%. Docket® also leads on rating (4.7 vs 2.7) and ratings volume (43K vs 75). NHS App's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Docket® holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 2.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Docket® has 43K ratings behind it against 75, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 74% of Docket®'s written reviews are positive against 21% of NHS App's.

Docket® ships an update every 6 weeks, NHS App every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on September 25, 2026.
