# MedHub vs AHA ACLS

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: MedHub at none against AHA ACLS's 1. MedHub also leads on ratings volume (5K vs 377). AHA ACLS's advantage is rating (4.9 vs 4.7) and chart position (#43 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. AHA ACLS sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $3.99 per year. MedHub asks for nothing beyond the download.

AHA ACLS holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MedHub has 5K ratings behind it against 377, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 18% of MedHub's written reviews are positive against 26% of AHA ACLS's.

MedHub ships an update every 3 months, AHA ACLS every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
