Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
IDSA Practice Guidelines holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: IDSA Practice Guidelines has 559 ratings behind it against 24, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of CredibleMeds Mobile's written reviews are positive against 0% of IDSA Practice Guidelines's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
CredibleMeds Mobile ships an update every 2 months, IDSA Practice Guidelines every 7 months. The most recent releases landed on September 15, 2026 and September 29, 2026 respectively.
