# iPacemaker Device vs Visualmed

The clearest difference is monetization model: iPacemaker Device at free with in-app purchases against Visualmed's subscription. iPacemaker Device also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 months) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). Visualmed's advantage is review sentiment (62% vs 28%) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.6). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. iPacemaker Device sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Visualmed sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

iPacemaker Device holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 365 and 196 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 28% of iPacemaker Device's written reviews are positive against 62% of Visualmed's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

iPacemaker Device ships an update every 4 days, Visualmed every 2 months. Both last shipped on October 14, 2026.
